Org v9.7.7 org-assert-version problem?

[David Masterson]

I just tried to package-install org-9.7.7 and I'm getting a problem with
org-assert-version.  It looks like a conflict between the system
installed version of 9.5.5 and my ~/.emacs.d/elpa install of 9.7.7.  The
main problem (so far) seems to be org-assert-version -- even Hyperbole
seems to be complaining that it is missing!

For those that have been watching, I had a setup of Org v9.5.5 as part
of Debian bookworm's Emacs 28.2.  All my Org files were publishing
properly (AFAICS), so I decided to upgrade to Org 9.7.6 in my
~/.emacs.d, but had problems that seemed to be conflicts with 9.5.5.  I
hand hid the system Org to see if I could get around the problem, but
I'm not sure I completely hid (it was still referenced in
package--builtins).  Org 9.7.6 was giving me other problems after that
(main one seemed to be pdflatex [I think] giving an error about ox-latex
not producing a good tex file).

I dropped Org 9.7.6 and unhid 9.5.5.  All my Org published fine again.
Then I noticed Org 9.7.7 was out and thought I'd give it a try.  See
paragraph 1.  I'll probably drop 9.7.7 for now.

Problems with `org-assert-version' always indicate issues with
installation. I recommend upgrading Org mode from clean Emacs config -
ideally, using emacs -Q.

If you see problems, feel free to report them. But with more details.
