Hello,
I recently had one of those transient problems that go away when
reinstalling org (the one where no code block can be executed). As I was
doing so, I noticed that I had both org and org-plus-contrib installed,
visibly because some packages depend on org.
Is this a bad thing? And is there a way to make sure package
dependencies pick up org-plus-contrib when it is installed, and do not
install org as well?
Thanks,
Alan

I don't recall facing the issue like yours when org gets auto-installed as
dependency. But I found it annoying to wait for org to get installed as
dependency magically when some package having that as dependency got
updated. So I would delete it manually, some package would get updated, and
it would get installed again.
So eventually I came up with this and this has worked fine:
;; http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/26513/115
(defun modi/package-dependency-check-ignore (orig-ret)
"Remove the `black listed packages' from ORIG-RET.
Packages listed in the let-bound `pkg-black-list' will not be auto-installed
even if they are found as dependencies.
It is known that this advice is not effective when installed packages
asynchronously using `paradox'. Below is effective on synchronous
package installations."
(let ((pkg-black-list '(org))
new-ret
pkg-name)
(dolist (pkg-struct orig-ret)
(setq pkg-name (package-desc-name pkg-struct))
(if (member pkg-name pkg-black-list)
(message (concat "Package `%s' will not be installed. "
"See `modi/package-dependency-check-ignore'.")
pkg-name)
;; (message "Package to be installed: %s" pkg-name)
(push pkg-struct new-ret)))
new-ret))
(advice-add 'package-compute-transaction :filter-return
#'modi/package-dependency-check-ignore)

Unfortunately I cannot deleting it without deleting all the packages
that depend on it :(

Thank you for the suggestion, but I use Spacemacs, which in turn uses
paradox.
Why couldn't there be an org-contrib package, depending on org? So that
way org would not be duplicated in two packages.
Thanks again,
Alan

I've run into the same problem with Spacemacs and would welcome a
solution.
All the best,

Hi all,
I just discovered a bug in this advice that I suggested earlier in this
thread.. I needed to fix the order of packages in the new-ret list that is
returned. The bug was that the order of pkgs in new-ret was flipped
compared to that in orig-ret.. so I needed to flip it back using reverse.
So just for record, here is the fixed function:
;; http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/26513/115
(defun modi/package-dependency-check-ignore (orig-ret)
"Remove the `black listed packages' from ORIG-RET.
Packages listed in the let-bound `pkg-black-list' will not be auto-installed
even if they are found as dependencies.
It is known that this advice is not effective when installed packages
asynchronously using `paradox'. Below is effective on synchronous
package installations."
(let ((pkg-black-list '(org))
new-ret
pkg-name)
(dolist (pkg-struct orig-ret)
(setq pkg-name (package-desc-name pkg-struct))
(if (member pkg-name pkg-black-list)
(message (concat "Package `%s' will not be installed. "
"See `modi/package-dependency-check-ignore'.")
pkg-name)
(push pkg-struct new-ret)))
;; Tue Apr 11 17:48:16 EDT 2017 - kmodi
;; It's *very* critical that the order of packages stays the same in
NEW-RET
;; as in ORIG-RET. The `push' command flips the order, so use `reverse'

‘nim-mode’.
;; Required package ‘flycheck-28’ is unavailable")
(setq new-ret (reverse new-ret))
new-ret))
(advice-add 'package-compute-transaction :filter-return
#'modi/package-dependency-check-ignore)

Hi,
Coming late to this fray and responding to original Subject
If you
(require 'use-package)
Then you might find the following to work, as I do:
(use-package org
:ensure org-plus-contrib ; following http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7890/org-plus-contrib-and-org-with-require-or-use-package
;; .. etc
)
YMMV,
Malcolm
