Hello Paul, Here is what I've done : 1) check you've the org-elpa repository configured : my package-archives has this value (("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/") ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") ("org-elpa" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")) 2) install melpa package from melpa (special handling for the MELPA repository [github]) 3) exclude org from melpa by adding / customize var package-archive- exclude-alist. Mine has this value '(("melpa" org)) this is explained on melpa home page in customization section (near http://melpa.milkbox.net/#installing). 4) uninstall org-2013... 5) exit emacs then install org-20130715 (you should only see a version like yyyymmdd and no longer see a version with yyyymmdd_hhmm) Hope this could help Pierre Le samedi 20 juillet 2013 16:52:10 Paul Stansell a écrit : > Pierre Téchoueyres free.fr> writes: > > Ok I've found *my* mistake : > > Melpa provides an org-mode from GIT too. > > Look like this version is buggy. > > Thanks for your help with this, but I'm still not entirely sure what I > should do. > > Are you saying that when I install org via elpa I should _not_ install this > one: > > org 20130720.... installed Outline-based notes management and organizer > [git] > > because it's from git?
