The problem is that there's been a change on two of the configuration variables.
To fix the problem declare the variable TEXMFMAIN with something like
$ export TEXMFMAIN=/usr/lib/texmf
This should fix the problem, and if the packages has been installed but not
configured, a simple
$ dpkg --configure --pending
will do.
Is a good thing to keep a copy of your old tetex configuration in case you are
updating an old version of tetex. In this case make a backup of your
/etc/texmf/ dir. The new installation will ask you to change this files with
new ones if you were updating.
Also the configuration of tetex-base will complain about a non-defined
VARTEXFONTS variable. You may define it befor the dpkg.... with a
$ export VARTEXFONTS=/var/spool/texmf
