Subject: bug#20295: Using Debian?
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:07:44 -0800

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem, and apparently I'm also using the wrong version of font-latex.el. However, M-x list-load-path-shadows doesn't show anything not installed by the Debian package manager (and I also don't have any Emacs related files installed manually anyway):

26 Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were found


However, the two listed `font-latex` files are actually the same file (one is a symlink), and Debian claims it has been shipped by AuCTeX:

$ dpkg -S /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/font-latex.el
auctex: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/font-latex.el

$ apt-cache show auctex | grep Version
Version: 11.87-3+deb8u1

$ head -10 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/font-latex.el
;;; font-latex.el --- LaTeX fontification for Font Lock mode.

Does this mean the Debian auctex package is broken?
