Yes.  Did this.  It doesn’t install.  

Breaks down during compilation.

Maybe I misunderstood your message but I think you want to update your
AUCTeX installation, right?  In this case, try

  • Uninstall AUCTeX 13.x and/or 14.x via package interface
  • Close Emacs and open a new session
  • Install AUCTeX 14.0.3 via package inferface

HTH.  Best, Arash
