Subject: Tried to install or-mode from ELPA, got "Bad Request"
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:46:36 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pnf9lx3n.fsf@nomad.lan> (raw)

I have my main machine running Debian 10 (Buster) with Emacs 26.1.  On
Tuesday I tried to install org-mode 9.3.1 from ELPA and got the
following error in the mini-buffer:

package-install-from-archive: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/org-9.3.1.tar: Bad Request

I have several packages installed from MELPA and this may be the first
time trying to install from ELPA and I was surprised by the error.  I
did install org-mode from the Debian package archive which gives me
version 9.1.4.

I get the same "Bad Request" error on my laptop that is running Debian
Testing (Bullseye) with Emacs 26.1.  Here are the messages left in the
Messages buffer:

Fortunately, Bullseye does have org-mode 9.3.1 in its archive.

TIA
