Bug Description

Auctex is a package which allows in particular to preview formulas when typing Latex under Emacs.
Under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS this is provided by package auctex.
But the previews don't appear.

I have checked on auctex site that this is a known problem of the version of auctec used
in Ubuntu, version 11.91-1ubuntu1.

So i have removed the auctex package and installed instead the auctex package
provided by elpa directly in my home. This one is based on a more recent version 12.1
of auctex. Now previews work OK which confirms that the solution of the bug is to
upgrade auctex.
