No Help Window from *Packages* - No Package Specified Error

[Tim Johnson]

GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.30)

When I run emacs with init.el and then invoke list-packages, the help 
window does not show for a package, regardless of mouse click or using 
keystroke "?"

This is not a problem when I start emacs with -q.

I'm loading a lot of stuff in init.el, so I would welcome any ideas as 
to what I have 'require'd or configured.

thanks
