I am trying to install a package called yaml-mode on my Emacs. Basically, a syntax highlighting for .yaml files. My current syntax highlighters do not have support for yaml files, apparently.

Hence, I added the following in my init.el file:

;; Trying to install yaml-mode
(use-package yaml-mode
  :ensure t)

Unfortunately, after re-starting Emacs, I got the following error message:

Error (use-package): Failed to install yaml-mode: https://melpa.org/packages/yaml-mode-20220903.1821.el: Not found Disable showing Disable logging Error (use-package): Cannot load yaml-mode Disable showing Disable logging

Although it mentions not being able to use MELPA, I can see yaml-mode package on MELPA repository here.

I would like to keep using use-package since it helps to make my init file declarative and more reproducible. This is my whole init file, in case it is relevant.

How can I fix this?

    Do package-refresh-contents and try again. Your package cache is probably out of date.

  • Oh, it was just a small typo after I commented-out.

Professor Fran Burstall suggested executing the command package-refresh-contents as a comment in my original post. I executed his suggestion and now things work as expected. Thank you.
