package-install wrong-type-argument error

Question

When I do M-x package-install <ret> dsvn <ret>, I get a wrong-type-argument error. This started with a recent Emacs package update. I can't figure it out.

EDIT: I have not changed anything, and now packages aren't even listed.

Add this to your Emacs init:

(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
             ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
             ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))

Or C-: enter the the above snippet.

Then M-xpackage-refresh-contents

And try doing what you have stated above.

Easier way seems to be: M-xlist-packages.
