Yes, there were mysterious forces... :-)

As I recall it I had two problems in my .emacs file:

1) a line:

(find-file "~/org/MAIN.org")

2) and 
;; Remember-Mode
(org-remember-insinuate)
(setq org-directory "/home/angelv/org/")
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes.org"))
(define-key global-map "\C-cr" 'org-remember)

Those were forcing the bundled org version to load.

Issue solved by:

* Moving line in 1) right after the (package-initialize) right at the
bottom of my .emacs

* Getting rid of lines in 2) and substituting them by:
(setq org-directory "/home/angelv/org/")
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "notes.org"))
(define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)

* Putting out of the way the directory where the bundled ORG was
  (probably not needed, but for extra peace of mind)


BUT, I still could not capture anything with C-cc, and I got an error
about org-called-interactively-p not being valid/defined.. (don't
remember now). It looks like the new org was byte-compiled when the old
org was active and there were some issues in there. Deleting all the
.elc files, making sure that only the new org was active and then
byte-compiling the .el files again did the trick.

Cheers,
