Run update-auctex-elisp via trigger rather than cron job

[Davor Cubranic]

Please backport Debian bug 478733 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478733) into Ubuntu precise (package auctex/11.86-2ubuntu1), which was fixed in auctex/11.86-6. From the bug:

update-auctex-elisp needs to run whenever new or changed LaTeX files
get installed. Currently, update-auctex-elisp runs via a weekly cron
job. Now that dpkg supports triggers, auctex should use that instead,
to run update-auctex-elisp on installation of LaTeX. This will keep
auctex up to date immediately rather than waiting until the weekly
cron job runs, and it will avoid running update-auctex-elisp when no
changes have occurred.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

"ve been wondering myself why that happened and doesn't occur on my debian box, why is ubuntu on this relatively old auctex package?

[Davor Cubranic (cubranic)]

Because Precise is an LTS release and this version of AucTeX was current
back in early 2012?
