Hi James,

sorry that nobody answered to this bug for so long.  Davide, auctex's
maintainer, seems to be away, so I'll take over this task.

I assume the bug still occurs?

Can you send us the postinst logfile - it's name is indicated above as
/tmp/update-auctex-elisp.XQRM90y.  If this file is no longer present,
run

dpkg --configure -a

I expect that auctex will fail again, and create a new logfile in /tmp.

Furthermore, we need the file

/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/auctex/CompilationLog.gz

if it exists.

Regards, Frank
