Attempting to upgrade from 13.3.0 to 14.0.0 results in Emacs getting
stuck with the message "Checking ~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-14.0.0". I have
to force quit Emacs and manually delete the half-installed folder for 14.0.0.

System details:

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 29.2 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32)
 of 2024-01-18
Package: 13.3.0

Yours,
Sandy
