Hmm, this sounds like what I want. However, when I try this, Emacs tells me:
(file-error "Cannot open load file" "no such file or directory"
"/home//.emacs.d/elpa/org-3101/org-autoloads")
load("/home//.emacs.d/elpa/org-3101/org-autoloads" nil t)
Is there a way to avoid this?
I'm sorry.

OK, I found the source in this message by Alan Schmitt, to which you replied:

I have not found it necessary. I make sure I load org before
initializing packages, and everything works.
Alan
Using this recipe, I get also a file org-autoloads.el produced by package.el
and everything seems to work.

Pinning is to say "I want this package to come from this place". In this case, you want to say "I want this package to come from the file system". It seems a related issue. It's not going to happen unless someone codes it or reports it, though. Phil

Hm. I'm not an expert in package.el or package managers in general but isn't "pinning" something different? I thought that pinning is "install a package and prevent it from being updated".

You could probably do something with package-pinned-packages also. This is probably something that package.el should support, so when not submit a bug report?
