I have no idea if it relates to what you describe with cask and
dependencies, but I had the same error and found several old threads
stating that it's caused by installing org when it's already initialized.
I solved it by Emacs -q and reinstalling from elpa. If you search for the
old threads there was a link to documentation that explains why this occurs
which may be of some help addressing with cask.
