Alex - it's from org-mode's own package repo by the look of it. My config (derived from ohai-emacs) includes these: (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t) - confusingly, the (built-in?) gnu repo has an 'org' package at version 20181230 and the org-mode repo has org-plus-contrib at the same version. I'm trying a virgin .emacs.d and building enough to install a few packages but I haven't been able to trigger the org-plus-contrib installation yet.

Unfortunately, org-plus-contrib is not a dependency of anything after all! So there is some other reason that it keeps getting installed. It's not a problem as I normally want it, it's just something else that I don't quite understand!!! | |
