Hi Steve!

...
 This will happen if you have an old copy of elib-1.08-pkg.tar.gz
 laying around in 'package-get-dir' (usually /tmp/<username>/).

 rm -rf /tmp/<username>/

 then

 (setq package-get-remove-copy t)

 To stop it happening to you again. 
The variable's value is t and I don't have a copy lying around. 

Is it possible to remove the tar.gz file and the entry in
package-index, regenerate the package and be done with it?

Thanks,
norbert.
