Dunno... ;-P

But....  Mayhaps check out the built-in pkg management options avail
in Emacs-25.x.  Then also use Paradox.  Methinks you will find smooth
sailings.

I is elisp brain deaded but summptin' akin to:

(require 'package)
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

(setq package-archives
      '(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
        ("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
	("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/")))

;; Sweet new feature of Emacs25.  Indeed :D
(setq package-archive-priorities
      '(("melpa-stable" . 80)
	("gnu" . 50 )
	("melpa" . 10)))

;; If a maintainer has a version that they've marked 'stable' then the
   priorities prefs will prefer that, else if not, grab whatever...;)

(setq package-menu-hide-low-priority "archive")

;; No longer needed for emacs25?
;; (setq package-menu-async t)

(package-initialize)

;;; Paradox - A better package.el UI 
(require 'paradox)
(paradox-enable)

Then youse can do things like:

(paradox-require 'circe)
