I did it, with some hiccups in the middle, and now I have a working Org-mode version 8.3.1 (8.3.1-95-g1dbb25-elpaplus) in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150831/ Thank you! :) > A few days ago I ran into that same issue :-) Even while upgrading is not yet perfect, the packaging system is becoming better by each version. As I'm not a bleeding edge developer, I may enjoy this version for a while, but for those who may step on the same rock: 1 . I uninstalled org from the package manager (M-x list-packages, there mark with "D" and execute with "x") 2 . unloaded every org file (this is important, close all org buffers before installation), 3. . and installed again org from the package manager; 4. . after, installed org-plus-contrib. Now it seems it's working fine, and I hope it may serve others too. Don't forget to unload org buffers before install! (is upgrading the same?). Thanks a lot Thomas! :) Best... -- e
