I have failed multiple times to install auctex 14.0.2 and
experience the same issues as others have reported with
v14.0.

Starting from emacs -Q, I do

(package-initialize)

M-x toggle-debug-on-quit
M-x list-packages

Hit 'U' on auctex and then 'x'

Everything proceeds OK until emacs hangs while
byte-compiling context-en.el.

If I hit C-g after a minute or so, I get a backtrace, the
top of which is below:
