previously I used ELPA to maintain few of my plugins. but i found (may
be a wrong estimation) that el-get will be more elegant to follow the
plugins using not only as a wrapper to ELPA and other plugins with
additional protocols like git, http ,svn and more.

      Problems with ELPA are I had to put ELPA directory into my .emacs.d repo
to exchange the my configurations between different computers. so when
ever I add/delete a plugin by ELPA, I will have big changes in my
.emacs.d repo. 

     Other thing is manual checking for the plugin updates. that's why i
chose to use el-get. Again, may be experienced git&elisp users can
overcome these problems quite easily.

As I said, i could solve my problem with deleting the org directory
(bad idea indeed , loosing the fallback option) in my emacs
installation.
        My question was why el-get is not able to init the Org
while it is doing good with other packages. 

if this is not so interesting/important, please ignore this thread as
closed Since I am having a working git head org installation.

Thanks & Regards,
