How did you install 25 and 27.1? It might be that they are using some configuration specific to your system that adds additional directories to load elisp from, that the development version is missing. Does anything change if you run $ emacs --no-site-lisp with an older version? (Also, how did you install auto-complete? Via M-x package-install or your system package manager?) -- Philip K.
