I'm having the same problem in 10.10 on an AMD-64 system. texlive is broken. I tried uninstalling every package it complained about started from scratch several times. It appears you cannot have texlive-base texlive-latex-base and tex-common coexisting which makes it a pretty limited tex system. If you google those three packages you'll turn up dozens of long discussions people are having trying to resolve this issue and so far no one has succeeded.
I'll be happy to follow any steps anyone cares to suggest, post any output, whatever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354073 Title: Issues Installing texlive in 8.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
