Bug#1040689: Workaround without init and site file

[Balbir Thomas]

Hi David,

I can confirm that deleting /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9.4 fixes
the issue and org-export-dispatch works again. Thank you.

I was thinking about this a bit more, and I wonder if the two bugs you
filed are related. In particular I wonder if the problems you are having
with org-mode are related to your having .elc files from an old version
of org-mode still in your file system. Perhaps try removing the
directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9.4 (or moving it to some
location outside emacs search path, like /tmp).

Thanks to bremner on IRC it was found that
launching emacs disabling the init and site lisp file
("emacs -Q") seems to fix the issue i.e. org-export-dispatch
does work and and exported file is generated.
