Jul 2, 2015 at 18:46	comment	added	Malabarba		@Cody Make sure you restart Emacs after moving the elpa directory. If that doesn't work, here are a couple more things. (1) Remove melpa from your `package-archives` and try again, just to check if that's really the cause. (2) If removing Melpa doesn't change anything, try removing Marmalade. (3) Issue `M-x toggle-debug-on-quit`, then hit `C-g` when emacs hangs again this will give you backtrace buffer you can post here.
Jul 2, 2015 at 18:41	comment	added	Cody		yes the loading of the old package.el file is commented out. I will probably try moving the elpa directory and then refreshing the contents. All of my packages work I just can't refresh the contents.
Jul 2, 2015 at 18:39	comment	added	Malabarba		@Cody Firstly, did you remove that `(load ... "~/.emacs.d/elpa/package.el")` from your init file? Also, since you're coming from a very old version, I recommend moving your whole `elpa/` directory somewhere else and reinstall your packages from the package menu.

Jul 2, 2015 at 18:34	comment	added	Cody		in the end I upgraded to emacs 24.5 but package-refresh-contents hangs on contacting host melpa.org:80 and I have (setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/") ("marmalade" . "marmalade-repo.org/packages/") ("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/"))) set in emacs. I'll accept your answer and probably post another question.
Jul 2, 2015 at 16:09	comment	added	Malabarba		@Drew IIUC, he's using one of the initial versions of package.el (way before it was made part of emacs).
Jul 2, 2015 at 16:03	comment	added	Drew		This code looks quite suspect: `(load (concat pkg-dir ... "-pkg") nil t)`. OP: Is that code in your `package.el` version? Maybe the problem is the version of `package.el`? (`package.el` is not included with Emacs 22.)
Jul 2, 2015 at 15:58	comment	added	Drew		+1 to the suggestion to upgrade past Emacs 22. That said, it's unfortunate that "it just stopped working once emacs 24 was ran once." That should not have happened, IMO.
