Did you mean only that a particular package is not listed? Or did you mean that if you use a particular package the help window (buffe= r `*Packages*') is not shown? > > This is not a problem when I start emacs with -q. > > I'm loading a lot of stuff in init.el, so I would welcome any ideas as > > to what I have 'require'd or configured. >=20 > After much tinkering, I have found that the following code in init.el > (require 'dired+) > Disables the information component of list-pack Again, same question as above. If you mean only that Dired+ is not listed, then I understand: It's not available in an ELPA repo; it's available from Emacs Wiki. But if you mean that requiring Dired+ prevents `list-packages' from displaying, then I don't see that. I use Dired+, and `list-packages' works for me. Or maybe there's more to the problem than just that `list-packages' doesn't display `*Packages*'? A priori, I don't think dired+.el should have any effect on `list-packages'.
