If it doesn't "just work", please report it as a bug. There are indeed problems when using Custom for some of package.el's customization variables, but for `package-archives' I am not aware of any special problems. > (package-initialize) [...] > (require 'some-package) > (some-package-whatever-mode t) None of those calls pays attention to package-archives, so if there's a problem it must be elsewhere. > My problem with this was that running "package-initialize" in my Emacs > initialization file resulted in a recently-installed version of AUCTeX > (11.88.4) being shadowed by an older built-in version of AUCTeX on > load-path.

This probably had nothing to do with your setting of package-archives. And without knowing more about how your older installation fo AUCTeX is added to load-path, there's not much we can say. Stefan
