Problem

Opening an org file throws following error

(invalid-function org-assert-version)

Solution

1) Remove Org Mode from Emacs

`cd ~/.emacs.d; rm -rf elpa/28.2/develop/org-9*`

2) Start Emacs as -Q mode

start emacs with emacs -Q

3) Evaluate on emacs

;; evaluate (with C-j) the following elisp code

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(setq package-user-dir
      (expand-file-name "develop"
                        (expand-file-name emacs-version
                                          (expand-file-name "elpa"
                                                            user-emacs-directory))))
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'org)

4) Restart Emacs normally
