Thanks for all the information and the fast fix!

I've tried several times already to keep the number of pieces of
software, that I have to care for myself, at a low level.  But somehow,
this number always increases again.  If there is a packaged version, I
really prefer to use that one as I spend too much time on maintenance of
my software environment already.

I just built an auctex debian package from the auctex git and can
confirm, that my problem is gone!

Thanks again!
