Dear dpkg maintainers,
we are having a small problem here. Yves tried to install
texlive-base-bin which broke in postinst. The strange thing is that ALL
programs contained in texlive-base-bin seem to be missing after
installation.

When he tries to install the package the following happens:

At this point there is NO /usr/bin/kpsewhich etc etc
So I checked his package:

Sosomething is really strange. Do you have any idea what could be the
reason for this failure? I haven't seen anying like this till now.
THanks a lot for your cooperation and all the best
