Okay. I don't have org-elpa in my list. But Org 9.4 is visible in the
`gnu' archive. I have this in my configuration
(custom-set-variables
'(package-archives '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/";)
("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";))))
When I install it manually via package-install it gets installed. But
(use-package org :ensure t) doesn't install it. Probably the order is
affecting it.
