My apologies, I did not see this report when I created a duplicate issue
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/1781002 Bug
#1781002 ).

I encountered this bug three days ago when I performed a fresh 16.04
install and then immediately upgraded to 18.04 via "do-release-upgrade
-d". I will paste the info below but in summary, generating the
en_DK.UTF-8 locale seems to be what was needed.


The error occurred during a "do-release-upgrade -d" on a fresh v16.04
installation to bring it up to v18.04.

Errors were encountered while processing:
 tex-common
Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error 
code (1)
