So, for the last few days, #Emacs has been glitching out on me. When I'd try to do certain things, it'd complain about an undefined variable and then just refuse to do the thing I asked it to do. Today, it started doing this when I tried to list the manuals.

I deleted the cache files and restarted it. Everything's fine now. I'm glad it's fixed, but... really?

platform? version? I’ve not been using the latest for mine for months due to instability.

I think the problem started when I installed the org-mode package from M-x list-packages even though it was already installed via apt. I removed it again, but I think it broke things.

Do you use emacs.desktop files, eg with desktop-save? I've also had strange goings-ons where starting emacs gives errors and even C-x C-c doesn't work. Removing the .emacs.desktop file in use resolves it.

@mocom I think this is what broke it.

org is a built in package :
  org                            9.5.5          built-in              Outline-based notes management and organizer

So no reason to install it
