Would you mind fixing this bug in Lucid? The patch is rather trivial and affects only the debian maintainer scripts.
Postinst gets/expects a wrong error code from dpkg-query. This has been fixed by the debian developers in revision 4577 of the tex-common package (closes: #571334). http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-tex/tex- common/trunk/debian/postinst.in?rev=4577 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581145 Title: tex-common 2.06 doesn't install without texlive-base -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
