Unsigned file ‘archive-contents’ at https://melpa.org/packages/ [2 times]
whenever i try to list-packages. package-refresh-contents resilts in
Failed to download ‘melpa’ archive.
i have tried renaming ~/.emacs.d/elpa, the melpa subdir, the gnupg
subdir. the gnupg subdir ends up with different contents each time i
try it, it seems. any help apprecited.
