Re: Problem after upgrading to 13.1.3
Hi Ikumi and Arash, Thanks for the pointer. I think I understand what the problem was. When the issue started, I removed the new AUCTeX installation and re-installed it through the Emacs package manager to make sure no old version remained. But I also had a MELPA package called latex-extra installed, which depends on AUCTeX. I suspect the package manager did not actually delete AUCTeX but kept it around as a dependency -- and it never warned me about this. Eventually, I removed both AUCTeX and latex-extra and reinstalled AUCTeX only, and the problem went away. I looked at latex-extra and it requires tex-buf.el. So the problem seems to be that Emacs loaded a file with the new AUCTeX but then latex-extra could not be loaded and that lead to the weird behavior. The issue is already reported: https://github.com/Malabarba/latex-extra/issues/35 To be honest, I have not even used latex-extra's functionality. It was just an old package lying around...

Hi Greg, I don't use use-package, so I just state some observations which seem relevant. > Greg Bognar via General discussion about AUCTeX writes: > When I try to change the mode of the file by M-x LaTeX-mode, I get an error: >Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, tex-buf That strongly suggests that there remains older version of AUCTeX.

tex-buf.el is gone and its content is now in tex.el. I suspect you have
still some configuration around which looks for tex-buf.el explicitly.
Also looking for load-path shadows with 'M-x list-load-path-shadows RET'
could help.
One other thing is if you're using an Emacs distro like Prelude,
Spacemacs, Doom et al. and they try to load tex-buf.el. I remember
there were reports in that area.

I don't use use-package so I can't tell.

Problem after upgrading to 13.1.3
Hi,
I've just upgraded to 13.1.3 from ELPA. I'm on Emacs 27.1.
When I open a LaTeX file, it opens in something called Fundamental mode. But I
do actually get font-locking and the basic AUCTeX menus, but none of my
customizations seem to have loaded. C-c C-c asks for the master file, even
though TeX-master is set in the file-local variables. M-x describe-mode tells
me:
Fundamental mode defined in `tex-mode.el':
This function has :override advice: `TeX-latex-mode'.
I use use-package to load AUCTeX:
(use-package tex
:ensure auctex
:defer t
:mode ("\\.tex\\'" . LaTeX-mode)
[...]
When I try to change the mode of the file by M-x LaTeX-mode, I get an error:
Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, tex-buf
My setup has worked without any problems before the upgrade. It seems
use-package does not load AUCTeX properly, although this is the way recommended
in the manual. I should also say I have a cryptic comment in my init file:
:ensure auctex ;FIXME: cannot be installed automatically
But I can't remember what problem I was trying to fix.
Does anyone who uses use-package have any advice on how to get AUCTeX working
again?
All the best,
Greg
