As far as I can tell, after AUCTeX 13.2, things were changed to require a minimum Emacs version of 26.1, which is fine. However, the GNU package archives system still advertises it as working for Emacs 25.1.

This means that users can download 13.2.1, but it won’t run. If the package archive information is also updated, it won’t get downloaded. Could that be changed?

It’s obviously been a long time since Emacs 26.1, but Aquamacs on the Mac is still based on 25.3. That’s being fixed, but in the meantime this has been affecting some Aquamacs users, at least.

If it’s too much trouble, that’s fine.

Thanks for your consideration!

Best,

Win
