DK> list-load-path-shadows only showed shadowing of the .el files by the .elc files. #1 never installed #2 possible but a purging auctex and then removing everything that was #left didn't help. I eventually managed to fix it by purging auctex and emacs21*. Then moving everything left in the /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp to a temporary location and reinstalling, moving back any of the site-lisp stuff that was demanded by the emacs installation. Still a bit puzzled but at least operational. Thanks for the pointers.
