Hi Tassilo,
I installed AUCTeX from ELPA and see the following:
,----[ C-h v TeX-lisp-directory RET ]
| TeX-lisp-directory is a variable defined in ‘tex-site.el’.
|
| Its value is "/path/to/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-14.0.5/"
`----
and we have this in tex-site.el
(add-to-list 'load-path TeX-lisp-directory)
So `load-path' has 2 entries:
"/path/to/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-14.0.5/"
"/path/to/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-14.0.5"
Note the final slash. `load-path' docstring says that both version are
tolerated, but I think we can fix our addition with this change:

WDYT? This was also discussed in bug#31150.
And I see the files .dir-locals.el and .elpaignore are also installed.
Are they really necessary, or can they be excluded?
Best, Arash
