Invalid duration format error with active timestamp

Invalid duration format error with active timestamp

[Garjola Dindi]

Hi,

I am using the most recent elpa version of org
9.4.5 (9.4.5-93-gbc857b-elpa @
/home/garjola/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20210510/) with emacs master branch.

Since updating org yesterday, when I use a timestamp like 

,----
| <2021-05-17 Mon 10:00-11:00>
`----


building the agenda fails with this backtrace:

,----

Does this ring a bell to somebody? I have been using timestamps like
this for a while without problems. I have checked the manual and I still
see this kind of timestamps in the corresponding section.

Thank you.

This was fixed a few days ago.

Since Org in ELPA is updated every Monday, you need to update it again
(later?) today to get the fix.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I've been impatiently refreshing the packages
since yesterday, but I don't see any new version of org.

I am using 

http://orgmode.org/elpa/

Is this still correct? Just wondering, since I understood that some
things are changing in org packaging and distribution.

Thanks for your great work!

Hi Garjola,

I had the same problem.

I fixed it by downloading manually the last working version of Org from
https://orgmode.org/elpa/,
i.e. https://orgmode.org/elpa/org-20210503.tar
and manually stored the extracted directory into my elpa directory,
/home/garjola/.emacs.d/elpa/ in your case.

After restarting Emacs Org agenda worked fine again.

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for the tip. I finally got the update via the package manager
before having the time to test your solution.

And org works great as always!

Cheers.
