I get the above error when trying to archive my org agenda using C-c C-x C-a and/or C-c C-x C-s, according to instructions over here. My archive location is set the default.

UPDATE:

After following @Tobias' instruction below, I get this error when using TAB on my headings to fold them:

org-cycle-internal-local: Symbol’s function definition is void: org-flag-region [7 times]

I just installed the newest version. Now I have two separate org.el:

./.emacs.d/elpa/org-20190701/org.el
./.emacs.d/elpa/org-20190624/org.el

But the flag region issue still persists.

I think Emacs seem to be confused over which init.el to read as well, because all my settings are left unevaluated after a restart.

Can't seem to locate the system org.el (if it exists).

Follow-up QUESTION

A natural follow-up question would be: How to prevent such confused situation when updating org to the newer version?

  • In the org-mode repository that I cloned with the following command-line as of today (06/29/2019) git clone https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git, I grepped for the regex org-show-all. I see that the function org-show-all is defined in the file org.el beginning at line 6115 -- the line number will vary depending upon the version of org-mode and the date the org.el file was modified by the developers. Therefore, you might want to try (require 'org) so that the file gets loaded before doing whatever it is that you want to do ... – lawlist Jun 30 '19 at 5:19
  • Same error came up after evaluating the code. Do I have to restart the buffer? – Sati Jun 30 '19 at 5:25

    An error indicating that the symbol's function definition is void usually means that the file containing the function definition has not yet been loaded. To be of further assistance, it would be helpful to know what version of org-mode you are using -- perhaps you have a stock version that shipped with Emacs and you installed a newer version of org-mode and your installation is confused ... If you have the *.el files you can grep them, or there is a grep option for certain versions of grep that can scan gz-ipped files -- search for defun org-show-all to see where it is defined ... – lawlist Jun 30 '19 at 5:31

    What does M-x org-version show? I guess you have mixed installation in your version string. I think the version you installed fights the built-in version and the built in org.el does not yet have org-show-all. You can test that with M-x load-library org. Since org-agenda.el has been loaded from the new repro org.el should also be loaded from the new repro on explicit call of load-library. If you are not sure which org.el is found by Emacs you can also call M-x locate-library org. – Tobias Jul 1 '19 at 8:08
