After Spacemacs upgrade to 0.200.7, org-mode 9. falls back to built-in 8.x and causes multiple issues.
The first issue I detected was xhen pressing M-RETURN to insert a new heading, nothing happens but a message:
org-element–set-regexps: Symbol’s function definition is void: org-link-types
According to https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/29471/error-message-symbols-function-definition-is-void-org-link-types-when-i-open?rq=1 it may be a version conflict between built-in org-mode in emacs and shadowing org-mode from local spacemacs.
Here are my versions:
ELISP> (org-version) "9.0.5" ELISP> (emacs-version) "GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.5)\n of 2016-12-23" ELISP> (spacemacs/display-and-copy-version) "Spacemacs v.0.200.7" ELISP>
From my /usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/org/org-version.el I found that emacs built-in org-release is “8.2.10”
For investigation purposes, I renamed my ~/.emacs.d/ and ~/.spacemacs/
to work on a fresh environment.
Based on the error message, I intrumented the faulty function:
(debug-on-entry #'org-element--set-regexps)

I was not too sure of spacemacs specificities, so I went back to the main doc: http://spacemacs.org/doc/DOCUMENTATION.html#troubleshoot and accordingly I ran:
M-x spacemacs/recompile-elpa
Following that I was able to load this gist file, but soon the debugger triggered again.
Debugger entered--entering a function:
* org-element--set-regexps()
require(org-element)
org-setup-filling()
org-mode()
set-auto-mode-0(org-mode nil)

funcall-interactively(helm-M-x nil #("normal-mode" 0 11 (match-part "normal-mode")))
call-interactively(helm-M-x nil nil)
command-execute(helm-M-x)
Oops, I had forgotten to disable the debugger. Ok,
(cancel-debug-on-entry #'org-element--set-regexps)
then
(normal-mode)
… go through to similar message:
File mode specification error: (void-function org-link-types)
So recompilation did not fix it.
I imagine plenty other actions would trigger the same error.
It seems that at some point, the new org-mode 9.0 falls into system’s version 8.x and raises the compatibility issue.
So I’d better go back to previous spacemacs release.
lujianmei blames https://github.com/zilongshanren/spacemacs-private/blob/develop/layers/zilongshanren-org/packages.el but I’m using the official repo and the “faulty statement” is there: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/master/layers/%2Bemacs/org/packages.el#L24

No further customization though, so the autoloading warning http://spacemacs.org/layers/+emacs/org/README.html#important-note does not apply yet.
Because of autoloading, calling to org functions will trigger the loading up of the org shipped with emacs which will induce conflicts. One way to avoid conflict is to wrap your org config code in a `with-eval-after-load block` …
So, according to Lujianmei, the culprit would be ‘:location built-in’ setting in org layer’s package.el .

But what does this comment mean, actually ?
Maybe a hint:
~/.emacs.d/layers/+spacemacs/spacemacs-org/packages.el 24: (org-plus-contrib :step pre) 33:;; dummy init function to force installation of `org-plus-contrib' 34:(defun spacemacs-org/init-org-plus-contrib ())
- file:~/.emacs.d/layers/+spacemacs/spacemacs-org/packages.el::24
So the org-plus-contrib package
- being loaded from spacemacs itself
- containing the required packages
- –> don’t need to be included in org-layer package list.
Let’s try:
