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
