org:org-plus-contrib does not tar cleanly into directory

[icymist]

I get this error at spacemacs startup. I only have the emacs-lisp, org layers.

installing org:org-plus-contrib... [1/1]An error occurred while installing org-plus-contrib (error: (error Package does not untar cleanly into directory org-plus-contrib-20151123/))

I have the same problem but I'm using emacs without spacemacs, so this issue should be unrelated to spacemacs.

Looks like a package downloading/extraction problem yes.

Ok, I resolved the problem by actually using the right URL:

-        ("org" . "http://org-mode.org/elpa/")
+        ("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")

facepalm

Here's what I did to try to debug the problem:

Show the list of packages:

M-x list-packages

Search for org-plus-contrib using C-s, click on the package to bring up the details. I noticed the detail buffer was filled with HTML, so I thought maybe I had the wrong URL since that should not happen. Lo and behold I was using wrong URL according to http://orgmode.org/elpa.html

I don't think that's the issue for @icymist since the right URL is used in core-configuration-layer.el.

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed we are using orgmode.org both in master and develop, so it's not this :-/

[StreakyCobra]

@icymist Does it work now? Maybe it was a temporary orgmode.org issue…

[icymist]

Yep. The problem still persists.

I completely removed Emacs and Spacemacs, reinstalled both again, and finally only enabled the org layer. That was the only change I did in .spacemacs.

See attachments.

Can you paste here the result of SPC h d s?
