I haven't tried it for myself, but that would break for sure. It
shouldn't be attempted to upgrade AUCTeX, especially when major version
increases, in a emacs session where AUCTeX is already used; in other
words,
>  • Opened a .tex file and it works
is the origin of the failure. (See the discussion between Tassilo and me
in the thread in auctex-devel in these few days.) In general, upgrade
installation of ELPA packages (not restrected to AUCTeX) should be done
with fresh emacs session.

However, I realized that ELPA installation of AUCTeX 14.0.0 IS broken in
another aspect even for fresh installation as I wrote in the reply to
Juergen :-( . I'll discuss that topic on another message which I'm going
to write afterwards.
