I have org-version 9.1.9 installed and am attempting to install the latest version 9.2.2
I followed the instructions on https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-via-elpa. On my system, M-x list-packages lists two "org":
org 9.2.2 available gnu Outline-based notes management and organizer
org 20190311 available org Outline-based notes management and organizer
I selected 9.2.2 and thought I installed it. But after I restarted Emacs, the old version of org-mode was still installed:
M-x org-version 9.1.9
So I followed instructions on https://orgmode.org/index.html. I tried:
M-x package-install RET org RET
But "org" is not listed. Although many "org-*" are listed.
How to update Org-mode through Emacs' Package Manager?
UPDATE 1:
My attempt from emacs -Q:
M-x package-initialize
M-x org-version
Org mode version 9.1.9
Did not install version 9.2.2.
Restart emacs -Q. Without M-x package-initialize:
M-x org-version
Org mode version 9.1.9
There is no ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org/ directory:
$ pwd
/home/wolfv/.emacs.d/elpa
$ cd org
bash: cd: org: No such file or directory
package-archives value is:
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/"))
Original value was
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))
No /home/wolfv/.emacs.d/elpa/org9.1.9:
$ pwd
/home/wolfv/.emacs.d/elpa
$ ls org*
