But only in Emacs >=29 and it is not mentioned on the ELPA page. For Emacs <29 ELPA instruction simply does not work - attempting to follow it will just produce unhelpful message that package is already installed.
Is that a problem with the command or with the expectations? When Org is built-in, it *is* already installed, isn't it?You will also see the same message if you try to use 'M-x package-install' as a means to upgrade any other already-installed package, whether it is built-in or not.
