Can not install any packages.

I would like to follow the bug reporting instructions 'emacs -Q' I am

no longer sure I can.

I did not have this problem yesterday but thenn I decided to update emacs. I did the following to install emacs: (just like I did the last 5+ times I installed it. Using instructions from http://viget.com/extend/emacs-24-rails-development-environment-from-scratch-to-productive-in-5-minu)

  $ brew uninstall emacs

  $ brew install emacs --cocoa --use-git-head --HEAD

System Software Overview:

  System Version: Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63b)

  Kernel Version: Darwin 11.4.2

  Boot Volume: Macintosh HD

  64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes

  Time since boot: 50 minutes

I found http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs-gnutls.html section 2 (but I could not understand how to make use of the information)

(describe-variable (quote gnutls-log-level))

;; # => 

;;    "gnutls-log-level is void as a variable.

;;    Documentation:

;;    Not documented as a variable."  

(describe-function (quote gnutls-available-p))

;; # => 

;;    gnutls-available-p is an alias for `gnutls-available-p',

;;    which is not defined.  Please make a bug report.

;;    [back]

I tried various things like setting the gnutls-log-level and brew installing GnuTLS.

Elpa lists the packages now but I see the following in *Messages* buffer. So I don't think it works

;; # => 

;;     url-http-parse-headers: Symbol's function definition is void: gnutls-available-p
