Looks like use-package is trying to "install" an ox-latex package. Do you
have the defcustom use-package-always-ensure set to a non-nil value?

I have that defcustom set to the default value of nil and the org setup
organization as below:

(use-package org
  ;; snip
  :mode ("\\.org\\'" . org-mode)
  :config
  (progn
;; snip
(use-package ox
  :defer t
  :config
  (progn
;; snip
(use-package ox-latex
  :config
  (progn
;; snip
))

That way, the ox package and the nested ox-latex, etc. are not required
until I export any org document for the first time.

Full org setup as of today:

ox-latex is part of org, which ships with Emacs. You should be able to
just use:

,
| (require 'ox-latex)
`

Alternatively:

,
| (use-package org
|   :config
|   (require 'ox-latex))
`

Finally, if you prefer org-plus-contrib you can do:

,
| (use-package org
|   :ensure org-plus-contrib
|   :config
|   (require 'ox-latex))
`

Hope this helps!
