I have removed 'org' and now list-load-path-shadows just shows the Elpa
Org hiding the version installed with Emacs in the OS (Debian 10) plus
the following
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rst hides /usr/share/emacs/26.1/lisp/textmodes/rst
but that doesn't look like anything to worry about.
However, I am still getting
org-refile: Invalid function: org-preserve-local-variables
when I refile, although the refiling works. Any ideas where else I
could look?
Cheers,
Loris
