Package: tex-common Version: 2.06 Severity: important Hello,
when tex-common is installed while textlive-binaries is already
unpacked, but techlive-base isn't installed, postinst aborts with an error:
...
+ dpkg-query -W -f=${Status} texlive-base
No packages found matching texlive-base.
+ stat=
dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
...
This can easily be reproduced by installing textlive-binaries in a clean
chroot. (textlive-binaries must be unpacked BEFORE installing tex-common
in order to reproduce the problem)
Maybe tex-common should depend on techlive-base and/or should gracefully
handle the non-existance of texlive-base in postinst when calling
dpkg-query.
Regards,
Tobias
