Make sure you get rid of cached stuff that may be in .emacs.d in your home directory, perhaps in eln subdirectories.  Totally wipe out /usr/share/emacs, etc.  Don't count on 'apt' to clean everything for you.

You are right : the problem was due do the content of 
.emacs.d/eln-cache. I deleted this directory and everything returned to 
normal behaviour.

I began to suspect an environment problem by creating a new user and 
trying to run emacs with this user : everything was fine. Then, with my 
usual user, I moved the .emacs.d, and once again everything was fine. 
Then I saw this eln-cache subdir...

Thank you.
