I have been trying to install newest version of org but does not work after following
instructions.  Might be a bug.

I guess this is the six-year old https://debbugs.gnu.org/18790 ,
which is a consequence of https://debbugs.gnu.org/16762 .

Indeed, it's already installed.  Did you mean to upgrade it?

Right, we should either change `package-install` so it can be used to
upgrade a package, or introduce a new command `package-up(date|grade)`.

I've now done the latter in Emacs 29.
