I installed Emacs 22 and AucTeX from the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories only
two days ago. That is the latest version they have. Since I have never
done these installations manually, I am not sure how to go about it
such that my existing system would not break.

If you can give some hints as to how to proceed, I would definitely
like to upgrade AucTeX and would certainly appreciate.
