bug#51815: 27.2; Strange interaction between Org and Diary

[Robert Thorpe]

I have a very strange problem where Org appears to interfer with the
rest of Emacs....

I use Org mode but I also use the normal calendar and diary.

This has an unwanted effect if I open an org file.  After org has been
started the calendar no longer functions as expected.  If I press "i d"
then it fails to insert an entry in the diary file.  A warning in
*Messages* says:

"command-execute: Wrong type argument: commandp, org-agenda-diary-entry"

I don't use org-agenda, BTW.

To clarify there are two conditions that are needed to see this
behaviour.

1) Org-mode has been started in the Emacs session.

It does not happen if org-mode hasn't been started (e.g. by opening an
org file in another buffer).

2) Org-mode must be started first before calendar.

If calendar is started first and org-mode is started second then the
calendar works.

I didn't know if I should file and Org bug or an Emacs one.  I can
resend it as an Org bug if you want.

BR,
Robert Thorpe

Which version of Org are you using? the one that came with Emacs 27.2
or something else?

This is bug#48199, which was fixed in Org bundled with Emacs 28, so the
version of Org in GNU ELPA should have the fix.

I'm merging these two bug reports, then.

I'm using Org 9.4.4 which came with Emacs 27.2.  I'll upgrade.

Thank you all for the info.
