I had precisely the same problem. What I did was do a dpkg --extract tetex-base Then, I entered the directory /etc/texmf, and renamed all the files there from '*.dpkg-new' removing the '.dpkg-new' part. Then, I configured the package and installed rest of tetex. Tetex-base seems to remove these files under configuration, instead of installing them. Which causes the rest of tetex to break.
