Org ships with Emacs, but a separate package (in Guix, ELPA, etc.) lets users run with a more recent release. > Also, I'm wanting to use the newer version as the old version has an > inconvenient bug. > > christopher@theoden ~$ guix describe > Generation 11 Jan 28 2021 08:54:56 (current) > guix 34861ac > repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git > branch: master > commit: 34861ac8eae3935b19b387545ca3c4c311fb66e7 Hmm, at least based on the simple check below, things look okay on my end: $ guix time-machine --commit=34861ac8ea -- \ environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs -- \ emacs -Q --batch -f org-version Org mode version 9.3 (release_9.3 @ /gnu/store/5zphg9jhx4psn6qm8gmf209igr7qdr7r-profile/share/emacs/27.1/lisp/org/) $ guix time-machine --commit=34861ac8ea -- \ environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs-org emacs -- \ emacs -Q --batch -f org-version Org mode version 9.4.4 ( @ /gnu/store/vwfb1nkkkl5nq9lavbvwxfldmhib2nvh-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/) And the list-load-path-shadows output when emacs-org is included looks as expected (i.e. share/emacs/site-lisp/ Org paths hide the corresponding share/emacs/27.1/lisp/ ones). On your end, list-load-path-shadows reports that the share/emacs/27.1/lisp/ paths hide the share/emacs/site-lisp/ ones?
