I had the same issue. Turned out my personal .emacs.d/eln-cache directory and its folders belonged to root: $ ls -la $HOME/.emacs.d/eln-cache total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 21 19:32 . drwx------ 4 adam users 4096 Aug 19 19:43 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 21 19:32 28.1-20961986 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 19 19:43 28.1-aa5da5cc chown'ing it to me fixed it. Thanks, Adam
