epresent should depend on org-8 in MELPA

[pscollins]

I had problems trying to install epresent where I got the following error messages:

 Cannot open load file: ox

 Symbol's value as variable is void:    org-list-allow-alphabetical

Googling showed that it's because I was missing the latest version of org-mode. It seemed to be fixed by M-x package-install RET org RET but this should be taken care of the package's dependencies --- I see that org-present includes a dependency on org-7, for example.

If epresent does depend on org-8 as it appears to, then org-8 should be a dependency of the package.

I don’t think this is an issue any more – Org 8.2 is included with current Emacs versions.

I have org 8.2, but package install epresent shows that org-8 is not present. But once switched to latest orgmode melpa setups as here, the issue is resovled: https://orgmode.org/elpa.html

(require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)

Apparently it is still an issue! With a fresh install of emacs on updated centos7 and I hit this bug. Thanks to @pscollins for the workaround, and -1 to @sellout for the copout on dependency management.
