Not sure what you mean "the same", but the value returned by `(point)` above should not depend on where you are in *Packages* when you do the `e` or what you do the `U`. The `U` command will go through the *Packages* buffer collecting info on each line, and the above `e` command should tell you at which buffer position it bumped into a problem. In any case, I think we need more info about your situation. E.g. can you reproduce it from `emacs -Q`? If not, try to reduce your Emacs's init file as much as possible until you find a recipe to reproduce the problem starting from `emacs -Q`. Stefan
