May I ask which package you want to use where AUCTeX support for completion is missing? I'm asking because TeX-auto-generate\(-global\)? can produce completion files which are not really accurate. So if you want to use a specific package where the AUCTeX style package.el is missing, it's better to write it yourself or ask here for help. > I uninstalled the AUCTeX package which I installed via my package > management system (Mint's Software Manager), which was an old version > (11.91-2ubuntu2), and installed AUCTeX via ELPA.

With `M-x list-packages RET', choosing AUCTeX with 'i' and 'x'?
