Auto-Complete Not Showing on Melpa and Missing File Header about auto-complete HOT 17 OPEN

Guys sorry for the late answer try to put (package-refresh-contents) before (package-initialize)

from auto-complete.

I am also having the same issue. This is my init.el:

https://github.com/Noah-Huppert/emacs-configuration/blob/e6cda2621be935247b6d2778bf6d9a9e86aa5023/init.el#L6

I ran package-refresh-contents. However the auto-complete package does not show.

But I see the package on the MELPA website...

If you run package-list-packages.Do you see auto-complete?

from auto-complete.

auto-complete is not seen in package-list-packages.

from auto-complete.

can you post your config?

Did you forget perhaps to attach the config? I cannot see any attachment in the mail.

Hi,
I send it per mail. Anyway, I don't see where to upload an attachment here, so I'll just copy and paste it here:

I got the same issue. It's not shown in package-list-packages.

from auto-complete.

Could you change (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")) to be before the package-initialize?

from auto-complete.

It is before the package-initialize.
I'm not sure what's going on.

what version of emacs do you have ?

from auto-complete.

24.3

@immiao @codonomado @artforlife Does @innerout answered your question? Thanks! 😄

Same is happening here, tried both on macOS and on Linux.

On Linux the emacs version is:

GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2023-08-16, modified by Debian

Note that I can see the package listed as a dependency if I install another package (e.g. auto-complete-c-headers, then I see this information in the package buffer:

Package auto-complete is dependency.

     Status: Installed in ‘auto-complete-20221231.1633/’ (unsigned).

So it looks like the package is not considered a "primary package" for some reason, and therefore is not shown in the packages list, but can be installed as a dependency (I cannot say why).
