I believe it means the installation must be done from an Emacs instance
that hasn't loaded any Org mode functions yet.

  You must make sure there are no =3DOrg-mode=3D functions loaded while
  the update is done. For that, exit Emacs and then run Emacs without
  loading your =3D.emacs=3D (=3DEmacs -Q=3D). Remove the old =3DOrg-mode=3D
  #+BEGIN_SRC sh
  rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-=E2=80=9DTab=E2=80=9D
  #+END_SRC
  where =3DTab=3D means press =3DTab=3D to see and auto complete the old
  =3DOrg-mode=3D directory you want to remove. Finally, update =3DOrg-mode=
=3D
  (=3DM-x package-install RET org RET=3D) and restart Emacs as usual.
