Ok. This is the same version I have installed. I didn't have any problems.
Check to make sure that your download succeeded correctly:

Ah, that's interesting. It never even finishes unpacking. Which version
of dpkg do you have installed?
What happens when you try:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/tetex-base_1.0-4.deb
without going through apt?
