At one point I was unable to archive subtrees because some function was 
undefined.
I uninstalled 9.2.6 and the issues was fixed.

Obviously you are not the typical user... :)

What should happen is that
1) packages.el should see that I'm trying to install a package that requires 
9.2.6 as a dependency and it should notify me that 9.1.9 is already installed 
and do I really want to do that, etc.

2) *or* just consider that it's better for me to use 9.2.6 instead of whatever 
comes with emacs and make sure that the older package is forgotten by emacs.

But honestly, I think 1) should be the default for any package.
