Hello, everyone.

I'm having problems installing texlive in my PC. I'm using unstable
here.

Everything started a couple of days ago, when I needed the package
physics.sty. I had to install texlive-science. But dependences came
in, and somehow I got a lot of configuration errors, and installation
was not completed. I uninstalled all texlive related packages I could
see, trying to make a fresh start. I think the problem is with
texlive-base.

I have all its dependencies installed and updated (tex-common,
texlive-binaries, etc.), and I'm attemting to install texlive-base
only. I get this:

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  Press Return to continue, 'q' followed by Return to quit.

---------------------------------------------------------------

In case it helps, /etc/texmf only contains texmf.d and web2c

I don't know where to go from here, so any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Victor
