I think I misremembered: ,----[ C-h f package-install-file RET ] | package-install-file is an autoloaded interactive native-comp-function | in ‘package.el’. | | (package-install-file FILE) | | Install a package from FILE. | The file can either be a tar file, an Emacs Lisp file, or a | directory. | | Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 25.1. | `---- So you have uncompress the file first with $ lzip -d auctex-14.0.9.tar.lz and then run within Emacs: M-x package-install-file RET auctex-14.0.9.tar RET Can you please try the above?
