file-error "https://melpa.org/packages/archive-contents" "Bad Request" during emacs 25.2 startup with Prelude initialization

New job, new emacs setup. I've used emacs for years but never did much customization. Running CentOS Linux 7.7 and emacs 25.2. I wanted to try the Prelude "starter kit" so I installed it. On emacs starup the Prelude init.el file (~/.emacs.d/init.el) runs and I see: error: Package ‘ag-’ is unavailable.

When I start emacs with debug enabled I see the following back trace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "https://melpa.org/packages/archive-contents" "Bad Request") signal(file-error ("https://melpa.org/packages/archive-contents" "Bad Request")) package--download-one-archive(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") "archive-contents" nil) package--download-and-read-archives(nil) package-refresh-contents() prelude-install-packages() require(prelude-packages) . .

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this.

I just ran into similar issues on a new Debian install, it looks like there are some setup issues in the default init.el.

Check your init.el against the [https://melpa.org/#/getting-started][1], it currently gives the default melpa link as: "https://melpa.org/packages/" - in my case it was http rather than https.

Then check that M-x package-list-packages works, go through the M-x package-refresh-contents , update cycle. For some reason this took a couple of attempts to work for me.
