Sorry for inconvenience. It is known that upgrading to AUCTeX 14 from 13
in running emacs session can lead to unsuccessful installation,
including infinite loop as you experienced.
The first thing which is worth trying is:
1. Terminate the current running Emacs session and restart Emacs.
2. Type ‘M-x package-recompile <RET> auctex <RET>’.
3. Restart your Emacs again.
If you are lucky enough, this will basically resolve the issue. There is
still old ‘auctex-X.Y.Z’ directory left behind under
‘~/.emacs.d/elpa/’, so delete it manually to avoid future trouble.
If the above prescription doesn't work, then try:
1. Uninstall AUCTeX once.
2. Restart your Emacs and (before doing anything else) reinstall
AUCTeX.
In theory, this recipe will circumvent all caveats in ELPA upgrade of
AUCTeX. Find and delete old ‘auctex-X.Y.Z’ directory remaining under
‘~/.emacs.d/elpa/’.
