Dear all.
After updating a 7 packages yesterday, including helm, I found my
org-mode (Emacs 24.3.1 in Linux) semi-functional with this message:
"funcall: Symbol's value as variable is void: helm-walk-ignore-directories"
This is defined in https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/blob/master/helm-lib.el
I searched, but couldn't found something that helped me and my
knowledge is not enough to troubleshoot this issue (I'm a newbie on
the Emacs world and no programmer at all).
I would appreciate very much if someone can give me a few pointers to
start with.
Thanks a lot in advance... :)

Just found it. The new installed version was not included in .emacs in the
(add-to-list 'load-path "[snip]")
part.
Is this the expected behavior when we update through the package manager?
Thanks... :)

The package manager does not unload the old package and load new package
as part of the upgrade. As a consequence, I always restart Emacs after
upgrading packages to avoid problems like this.
