Is there a problem with the ELPA archive site at present?
Emacs version form today ("107918
eggert@cs.ucla.edu-20120416011813-5owp5impbhuv3w02")
emacs -Q
m-x list-packages
shows package listing with message "Failed to download 'gnu' archive
However, if you are like me an often have debug on error enabled, you
get the backtrace
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Trying to parse HTTP response
code in odd buffer: *http elpa.gnu.org:80*<2>")
signal(error ("Trying to parse HTTP response code in odd buffer:
*http elpa.gnu.org:80*<2>"))
error("Trying to parse HTTP response code in odd buffer: %s" " *http
elpa.gnu.org:80*<2>")

package--download-one-archive(("gnu" .

"archive-contents"] 3]()

It strikes me that this error message is not very helpful. It took a
bit of time before I was able to work out there was some issue with
downloading the archive, but even now I'm not clear on exactly
what/why there is an issue. Thought it might be worth a bug report,
but wanted to see what the status of the elpa archive site was as this
make a difference between a bug report concerning error
handling/reporting and a bug report of some deeper issue witht he
list-packages functionality.

A temporary issue due to a power cut at the GNU servers' colo facility.
The FSF sysadmins have brought elpa.gnu.org back up now.
