This is definitely a dependency issue. tex-common needs texlive-base because the tex-common --configure process seems to search for the texlive-base package. In addition, I got to this point because I needed to install dvipng, which seems to depend on texlive-base-bin. texlive-base-bin is replaced by texlive-binaries. texlive-binaries depends upon tex-common.
Maybe texlive-binaries should also depend on texlive-base? -- package tex-common 2.06 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
