You are running in to a classic problem with mixing built-in and ELPA versions of Org. It comes up again and again for over 10 years :( > Is there something I should can try to fix this? Nothing I read in the > warning buffer seems to apply to my case, but I'm not sure. Try the emacs -Q method described in https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html > I've discovered 'org--inhibit-version-check but as its docs note it's really > for development only. Yeah. The warning is so loud because mixing version can cause unpredictable bugs. The variable you found exists because Emacs maintainers say that it is ok to have such bugs on Emacs dev branch (users are supposed to re-compile from scratch if they run into issues there) -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
