This is an error that happens while the function org-capture-fill-template
runs. It is not easy to locate because the error is captured.
What you can do this this:
Goto org-capture.el and find this piece of code:
(condition-case error
(org-capture-put :template (org-capture-fill-template))
((error quit)
(if (get-buffer "*Capture*") (kill-buffer "*Capture*"))
(error "Capture abort: %s" error)))
Edit it to remove the error trap:
(org-capture-put :template (org-capture-fill-template))
(if (get-buffer "*Capture*") (kill-buffer "*Capture*"))
Evaluate buffer to update.
Set debug-on-error
And then go and hit the error again.
The traceback will then give information we can hopefully use.
