I believe it means the installation must be done from an Emacs instance
that hasn't loaded any Org mode functions yet.
You must make sure there are no =Org-mode= functions loaded while
the update is done. For that, exit Emacs and then run Emacs without
loading your =.emacs= (=Emacs -Q=). Remove the old =Org-mode=
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-”Tab”
#+END_SRC
where =Tab= means press =Tab= to see and auto complete the old
=Org-mode= directory you want to remove. Finally, update =Org-mode=
(=M-x package-install RET org RET=) and restart Emacs as usual.
