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/ ? -- : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.1.2-117-g5b2b8f
