Strange "non-existent agenda file" message

Strange "non-existent agenda file" message

[François Pinard]

Hi, Org people.

I have a few notes about Org mode which I intend to present to my
coworkers at our next meeting, if time permits.  This evening, I just
pushed them together (the notes, not the coworkers!) in a file with the
idea of creating a few beamer slides.  And doing so, experimenting a bit
with the feature :-).

Command "C-c C-e d" yields this strange message:

  non-existent agenda file
  ~/fp/notes/Bureautique/Org_mode_Présentation.org.
  [R]emove from list or [A]bort?

This is not an agenda file, and I've no reason to turn it into an agenda
file either.  Is there a relation between a beamer presentation and the
agenda?  Why the question?  What is the meaning of the message?

If I add a (debug) call at beginning `org-check-agenda-file' in org.el,
I see:


Debugger entered: nil

I do not understand why nor how org-map-entries (likely line 478 in
org-beamer.el) ends up in calling org-prepare-agenda-buffers.  The SCOPE
argument or org-map-entries is implied to nil, isn't it?

I cannot reproduce this.  Can you provide a minimal setup and an 
example file that will help me reproduce this?  

Thanks!

I'll try to do so, yet a bit later.  The holidays ended -- I mean, the
weekend is over! :-).  Other duties will keep me busy for a few days...

Well, the problem did not show on my side, since then.  I just retried
once more, and everything apparently works.  So, let me abandon this
report, and restart afresh if the diagnostic ever returns.

Thanks for your patience, and for all the work!
