bug#64834: 28.2; Auctex fails to load properly

[Roger Lipsett]

Sorry, poor choice of terminology. What I meant to say was that if I *install* auctex after loading my init.el file, I get that error in compilation, while I do not in an emacs -q session. So I've installed auctex using emacs -q and then everything is fine.

init files attached.

That means, the culprit is in your init file, maybe popping in only in
combination with the emacs server.  To remove the "maybe", does it work
when just starting emacs (with no server but also not with -q)?  Also,
does "emacs --debug-init" show some error?

You want an error when using the server?

Yes, please.
