MELPA pointing to non-existent version of multi-term?

Question

I am trying to use MELPA to install the emacs package "multi-term". When I do package-install multi-term, I get "http://melpa.org/packages/multi-term-20141203.1658.el: Not found". However, a more recent version http://melpa.org/packages/multi-term-20150220.1320.el is on MELPA. Why is emacs not installing this version?

Answer 1

This can happen if a package is updated in MELPA while you have an old list of packages cached locally.

Update your local package list with M-x package-refresh-contents and try again. This should sync your local package list with MELPA, and installing your package should work.

I Have exacly the same problem a fews months i use a proxy to solve that problem.

i add that in my .emacs

(setq url-proxy-services
   '(("no_proxy" . "^\\(localhost\\|10.*\\)")
     ("http" . "myproxy.com:8080")
     ("https" . "myproxy.com:8080")))
