Looks like use-package is trying to "install" an ox-latex package. Do you
have the defcustom use-package-always-ensure set to a non-nil value?

I have that defcustom set to the default value of nil and the org setup
organization as below:

(use-package org
  ;; snip
  :mode ("\\.org\\'" . org-mode)
  :config
  (progn
    ;; snip
    (use-package ox
      :defer t
      :config
      (progn
        ;; snip
        (use-package ox-latex
          :config
          (progn
            ;; snip
            ))))))

That way, the ox package and the nested ox-latex, etc. are not required
until I export any org document for the first time.

Full org setup as of today:
