Hi,
This has happened for some time now:
- i go to install a package M-x package-install <NAME> and I get an
error saying package is "disabled"
- what I find is that if I do M-x list-packages (I forget full command
name) - and then find the pacakge and hit Install it will say there is a
dependency and gives that package name
- so I go to that one and if it Installs then great I go back to the
first - if not I go on until I find the base dependency
- in other words, the pacakge install process doesn't seem to install
dependencies by default

I did post on stackexchange:
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/54081/install-package-issue-says-disabled-doesnt-auto-install-dependencies
and recommendation was I filed a bug as the response should indicate
what the problem is (re the initial "disabled" response)

Thanks,
JW

This was a month ago, and there was no response, so it seems unlikely
that there'll be further progress here, and I'm closing this bug report.
If further progress can be made, please respond to the debbugs address
and we'll reopen.
