The beginning of my .emacs file looked like this:

(server-start) 
(setq package-enable-at-startup t)
(package-initialize)

Changed it now to this:
(package-initialize)
(setq package-enable-at-startup t)
(server-start)

Everything is working fine now. Thanks very much for your help, 
I would never have found that solution by myself.

Best,
Giammi

Glad I could help.  However, your original problem still remains.  You
should be able to export using the latest version of org
(i.e. 9.1.2).  It would seem that your configuration is making reference
to the default version of org *before* you ask for the new version.

I find that you need to have your package-initialize as the first thing
in your .emacs to ensure that the new version of org takes
precedence.  Have you tried doing this with v9.1.2 installed?

This helped a lot...

emacs -Q
Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @
/usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/org/)

emacs gives me
Org mode version 9.1.2 (9.1.2-22-ga2a034-elpa @
/home/giammi/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20171023/)

I deinstalled all org packages and installed again.

It seems that installing org-evil and org-caldav installed also version
9.1.2 of org-mode as a (maybe) dependency. Don't know...

If I have these 2 packages removed again (plus the dependency org-mode
9.1.2), then emacs gives me version 8.2.10 and everything works
perfect.

Just as further information. I had org-evil and org-caldav installed
for more than a year - never had this issue.

Thanks very much for your help.

Best,
Giammi

The point I was trying to make is that for Emacs to find that version of
org (version 9.1.2 from elpa), you must have some initialisation,
e.g. (package-initialize) or equivalent.  If your .emacs is empty, how
does Emacs find this version of org?  I don't think Emacs 25.1.1 comes
with org 9.1.2.  Does it?  What does "M-x org-version RET" give if you
do this with emacs -Q?

Also, maybe see what is in the directory ~/.emacs.d/ ?

No idea...

Not that I know of - IIRC I have never created one in that directory.
Export was working perfect until yesterday. I did not change the init
file. I just upgraded several files through M-x list-packages.

If it helps, some additional information:

As mentioned, entering emacs -Q in the command line works for export,
just emacs not.

But if your .emacs is completely empty, how does emacs know how to get
the ELPA version of org?  Do you have an init file in your .emacs.d
directory?

Thanks for your reply.

If I use a completely empty .emacs file, then I get the error message.

If I start with emacs -Q, then I can export the file without problem.

FWIW, I cannot reproduce it. You may want to check your configuration
file.
