Subject: 28.0.50; Package already install but still connecting to MELPA at
 start
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2020 00:09:40 +0530

This is working fine on emacs-27 branch. But the issue is occuring only
on ‘master’.

In my ~/.emacs.d/init.d, I have (require 'init-flymake). And I've set
load-path before that using following statement,

(eval-and-compile
  (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "lisp" user-emacs-directory)))

And my ~/.emacs.d/lisp/init-flymake.el has following content,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'package)

(defun my/flymake-setup ()
  "Initialize flymake from elpa."
  (defvar my/pkgs '(flymake))

  (let (ulist)
    (dolist (pkg my/pkgs ulist)
      (unless (package-installed-p pkg)
	(setq ulist (cons pkg ulist))))
    (unless (null ulist)
      (package-refresh-contents)
      (dolist (pkg ulist)
	(package-install pkg)))))

(my/flymake-setup)

(require 'flymake)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-n") #'flymake-goto-next-error)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-p") #'flymake-goto-prev-error)

(provide 'init-flymake)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Everytime I restart emacs, it connects to MELPA to download
flymake. Following are log entries from *Messages* buffer at the
beginning of emacs session.

So, basically you're saying that

(package-installed-p 'flymake)

returns nil, but flymake is installed?

Yes. Just now, I have tried it in *scratch* buffer. Package list also
shows 'flymake' is installed as dependency.

Yes. And more info on this.

1. Launch fresh emacs instance
2. (package-installed-p 'flymake)
   ⇒ nil
3. M-x package-refresh-contents
   ;; wait for completion
   (package-installed-p 'flymake)
   ⇒ nil
4. M-x list-packages
   ;; wait for completion
   (package-installed-p 'flymake)
   ⇒ t

And the issue disappears when I open Gnus in emacs-27 and then again
open Gnus on emacs-master.

Opening Gnus changes the value of

(package-installed-p 'flymake)

?  That's very odd indeed.  I think it sounds like you have some kind of
corrupted data structures somewhere, but I can't even guess where.

Could you please provide a recipe to reproduce this bug, starting from
emacs -Q?  I tried the following on current master and Emacs 27:

0. emacs -Q
1. Evaluate:
(progn
  (package-initialize)
  (package-installed-p 'flymake))

This is returning `t' on both - `master' as well as `emacs-27'. Should I
close this?

If the above works for you, I think this should be closed, yes.
