re - Symbol's function definition is void: function-put

[Sharon Kimble]

I'm back on claws-mail as i can't access gnus because of this gotcha,
which is a major one. I've removed org, org+contribs, yassnippets, but
still can't access gnus because of it. I've restarted, and reloaded
emacs several times, but looking at my elpa package list i'm left
feeling that i ought just to rename the elpa
directory and start with a fresh install of all my packages. that
would probably be the quickest solution but its very drastic, has 
anyone got any other ideas/solutions please?

Sharon,

Nicolas Richard has pointed you to the reason for this
problem.  Re-installing all your packages will not help if the loaddefs
in org has been generated using Emacs >=24.5.

Your best bet is to 1. remove the ELPA version of org, 2. download org
directly from orgmode.org, 3. unzip it wherever you want and 4. add
(add-to-list 'load-path "wherever you put org/lisp") to your .emacs or
whatever initialisation file before you customise org's behaviour.

By the way, you shouldn't break threads.  It would make things easier if
you followed up on previous emails that belong to the thread...

Eric.
The first email about this came from gnus with no problem, but now I'm
unable to load gnus, so am forced to send from claws-mail. I am totally
unable to follow up on the original thread for the reason that I've
just explained. 

I'm now back on 24.3.90.1 and just reinstalling all the major packages
I need, and finding out exactly what I do use and what can be left out.
And that some of my favourite packages - org2blog, and tabbar - are no
longer in the ELPA repos, which is a shame. Luckily I've still got
them so they can be added back in quite easily to the elpa directory.
