I recently updated to the latest org-mode version (using M-x
list-packages). Now M-x org-export-icalendar-this file
doesn't work. I get the following error message:
org-export-icalendar: Symbol's function definition is void:
org-prepare-agenda-buffers

More information below.  Please advise. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Felix Fernandes

AFAICT, there is no `org-export-icalendar' function in the current
version(s) of org. I suspect you are picking up bits and pieces from
the version of org that was bundled with your emacs (a so-called "mixed
installation").

You probably need to make sure that you install org correctly, so that
the previous bits are shadowed completely. Read the "Using Emacs
packaging system" subsection of the "Installation" section of the Org
manual for important information:

   (info "(org) Installation")

I checked the information at the info node that you suggested. It provides
the following requirements: Make sure that no other org files are open
during the install and place (package-initialize) before setting org options
in .emacs. I verified both of these requirements and updated to org version
20141229, but I still encounter the function org-export-icalendar-this-file
and it still produces the same error as before. 

How to uninstall all org modes and re-install only the latest one?
Thanks.

Try putting the call to package-initialize at the very top of your
.emacs.

AFAIK, you don't need to uninstall the bundled org-mode.

See

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/84840/focus=84862

and its containing thread:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/84840

for some enlightenment.

Thanks for your help, Nick. I found that C-c C-e c f replaces
org-export-icalendar-this-file. It would be nice if M-x
org-export-icalendar-this-file is undefined or pops up an error message
stating that it has been replaced by C-c C-e c f.

org-export-icalendar-this-file *is* undefined in versions of org >= 8.0.
When I try M-x org-export-icalendar-this-file on a modern org, I get "No
match".  The fact that you get something else is indicative of
installation problems as I alluded to before.

In the current version, C-c C-e c f is bound to the command
org-icalendar-export-to-ics.

The org-export-icalendar-this-file is the least of my worries because I can
just use org-icalendar-export-to-ics. Thanks again for your help. I will
re-post seeking a solution to the installation problem.
