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?

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 -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
