Hi Guix,
Our Org Mode package (emacs-org) seems to be broken in a funny way.
Here's how to reproduce this bug (on commit dac7928):
1) Install ‘emacs’ and ‘emacs-org’.
2) Start Emacs and work around https://debbugs.gnu.org/38399 by adding
the directory containing org to the front of ‘load-path’:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(push "/path/to/org-9.2.6" load-path)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
3) Open a new org file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-x C-f foo.org RET
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
4) Enter the following text into the buffer:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+STARTUP: indent
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
5) Verify you're running Org Mode version 9.2.6 by running:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
M-x org-version RET
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
6) Here comes the fun part: Hit C-c C-c. This will produce the
following error message:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Symbol’s function definition is void: org-outline-overlay-data
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
7) Now reload Org from source (instead of the .elc files):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-u C-c C-x !
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
6) Repeat step 6. This time it succeeds!
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Local setup has been refreshed
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The function ‘org-outline-overlay-data’ isn't defined anywhere in the
org-9.2.6 source, but it is defined in the org bundled with Emacs.
Because of this I suspect that the new emacs-build-system generates a
weird chimera containing parts of both org-9.2.6 and org-9.1.9.
To my untrained eye this looks like it’s probably a consequence of the
aforementioned bug #38399. So I'd expect this issue to disappear as
soon as that one is fixed.
Regards,
Diego
