Set the package tetex-bin on hold (I always use dselect for it).
Recently, I had to hold all the tetex packages because of a nasty bug
in the new tetex-bin regarding texmf.cnf which made running texconfig
impossible.
After doing it restart "apt-get upgrade" and the rest should work
fine.
The "dpkg --configure --pending" might be useful too in some
situations.
