[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I am seeing this error from org-mode when trying to export to HTML. The
main org file has an include line like so:

#+INCLUDE: "sisyphus.org" :lines "28-"

The error occurs on a clean emacs -q run from head of Emacs-25.

I don't quite understand where the error is coming from, given that this
simple export has nothing to do with agenda files.

Org-files are attached.

Thanks!

Phil

Look in org-map-entries : it uses org-agenda-prepare-buffers internally
by calling: (org-agenda-prepare-buffers (list (buffer-file-name (current-buffer))))

I stopped investigating at this point.

This should be fixed on the Org side as of 44c8cd7 (2015-08-10):

    org-map-entries: Fix org-agenda-prepare-buffers call
    
    * lisp/org.el (org-map-entries): Check that buffer-file-name is non-nil
      before passing to org-agenda-prepare-buffers.
    
    Like 11e8749, this surfaced as an error when 05efa7a ("Backport commit
    3a5f751 from Emacs master branch", 2015-08-08) replaced a
    '(while (setq VAR (pop LIST)) BODY)' with '(dolist (VAR LIST) BODY)',
    resulting in the body being executed when '(nil)' was passed to
    org-agenda-prepare-buffers.

Okay. What's the best way to get this fix onto the release branch?

I'm not sure, but I just asked a related question in bug#22399:

Closing this bug since the issue is solved and the fix landed in Emacs
release branch.
