I VERY MUCH appreciate all the help) Here is 'git status' and 'git describe' jlb@debian64tu01:~/emacs/lisp/org-mode$ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) jlb@debian64tu01:~/emacs/lisp/org-mode$ git describe release_8.0-pre-54-gb5a8538 I've also tried to *not* escaping the curly braces as Eric suggested, but that resulted in no change in my output. I have essentially performed steps 1 and 3, as Feng shu suggested: > Your can try like this: > 1. Install emacs 24 deb package > 2. remove org directory in /use/share/******/org > 3. install org from org-mode.git I have not yet tried removing the org directory in /use/share/******/org (step 2). I'll try that next... But so that I understand, if the files are not hidden by that directory (as shown by 'list-load-path-shadows'), I would also not expect any impact from them (unless of course there is still something in my installation that is fouled up). Is that correct? Thanks again, Jerry
