Bastien and Jambunathan,

- I am running Emacs 23.2.1
- launching Emacs from the terminal with ~$ emacs -Q made no difference (was
that just to open up the Lisp interpreter?)
- I just successfully upgraded to Org-Mode version 7.6 using the "How do I
install Org-mode from a ELPA-compatible tarball?" section from
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-elpa

However, I'm not sure why this should have worked, since

- M-x list-packages RET displays "[No match]" in the bottom bar.
- I also seem to have lost the ability to evaluate (C-x e returns a "no kdb
macro has been defined" message).

I'm not sure what to do with
http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/1a0a666f941c99882093d7bd08ced15033bc3f0c:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.elbut
I assume since I'm now running Org-Mode 7.6 it is no longer necessary.

Max...
