It seems that the version of AUCTeX currently shipped by doom is broken

What happened?

When I uncommented the latex package from my init.el it completely broke my ability to do M-x, pressing M-x triggered the following error message: “Symbol’s chain of function indirections contains a loop: ConTeXt mode”. M-x only came back after I commented back the latex package and doing a doom sync --rebuild. After searching the internet for a bit I found the exact same bug from earlier in the year here. In the thread they say its a known bug of AUCTeX that has patched in the newer versions, but after doing a doom sync -u && doom upgrade the bug persisted.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install doom emacs
  2. Uncomment latex fromo init.el
  3. doom sync and doom/reload
