If possible and if you didn't install tetex-bin yet, please try 
to modify /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.postinst

    if [ -x ${UPDMAP} -a -x /usr/bin/updmap -a -f ${BASEMAP} -a X"`kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`" = X"/usr/share/texmf" ]; then

to

    if [ -x ${UPDMAP} -a -x /usr/bin/updmap -a -f ${BASEMAP} -a -x /usr/bin/kpsewhich ]; then

and run "dpkg --configure tetex-base"

Note you didn't need to purge tetex-base.

If this fails please run

"sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.postinst configure"

Thanks for your help,		    2003-2-22(Sat)
