That could be one way of going about it. Other solutions have been discussed in Bug#10125, for example here: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10125#59 > But I don't think the issue is with package.el per se.

As far as I understand, the bug in package.el is that you can't always successfully install a later version of a package after it has been loaded. In this case, Org-mode fails to install properly.
