Hello there!
Since the latest update to 9.4.4, some of us in Guix have been
experiencing issues with loading packages that depend on Org [0]. It
seems the root of the problem is that (org-release) returns an empty
string, you can see this manifesting in this email actually :-).
Looking a little deeper, indeed the org-version.el packaged in Guix is
as follows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; org-version.el --- autogenerated file, do not edit
;;
;;; Code:
;;;###autoload
(defun org-release ()
"The release version of Org.
Inserted by installing Org mode or when a release is made."
(let ((org-release ""))
org-release))
;;;###autoload
(defun org-git-version ()
"The Git version of Org mode.
Inserted by installing Org or when a release is made."
(let ((org-git-version ""))
org-git-version))
\f
(provide 'org-version)
\f
;; Local Variables:
;; version-control: never
;; no-byte-compile: t
;; coding: utf-8
;; End:
;;; org-version.el ends here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
We download the Org source code directly from ELPA [1], it would seemx
the org-version.el wasn't correctly generated, right?
Thanks so much for Org!
Pierre

Thanks for reporting.
It looks like org-release is also an empty string for 9.4.3, while 9.4.2
looks okay:
# https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/org-9.4.2.tar.lz
# https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/org-9.4.3.tar.lz
$ grep '(org-release' org-9.4.3/org-version.el
(let ((org-release ""))
$ grep '(org-release' org-9.4.2/org-version.el
(let ((org-release "9.4.2")
In between those two releases, there seems to have been some
restructuring on ELPA's end, in particular ee03829f90 (Finalize the new
master branch, 2020-12-14).
Based on looking at Org's entry in the elpa-packages file
("org"
:url "https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode"
:lisp-dir "lisp"
:release-branch "maint"
:ignored-files ("etc/schema" "contrib" "mk" "testing" "lisp/org-install.el")
:news "etc/ORG-NEWS"
:shell-command "make autoloads info; mv doc/org org.info; mv doc/orgguide orgguide.info"
:doc ("org.info" "orgguide.info")
:auto-sync t)
my uneducated guess is that the make command is failing to generate the
version when executed from its elpa.git worktree because,
unsurprisingly, elpa.git doesn't (and shouldn't) pull in the Org repo's
tags.
Bastien and Stefan, does the above guess sound right? Any thoughts on
how to address the issue?

Indeed that's the origin of the problem.
I don't know exactly how `org-version.el` is created and how the release
version is extracted&inserted, so I'm not sure how to fix it.
The approach I'd advocate would be to use `package-get-version` (or
something similar since `package-get-version` doesn't exist in
Emacs<27).

Based on tested in a `git clone --no-tags ...` repo, should be fixed by
61336f80d.

Looks like it works: the `version.el` in
https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/org-9.5snapshot0.20210205.62105.tar
now says:
(defun org-release ()
"The release version of Org.
Inserted by installing Org mode or when a release is made."
(let ((org-release "9.5-dev"))
org-release))
;;;###autoload
(defun org-git-version ()
"The Git version of Org mode.
Inserted by installing Org or when a release is made."
(let ((org-git-version "9.5-dev-g2512fd"))
org-git-version))
Thanks,
Stefan

Fantastic! Thanks for chasing and fixing this!
