Do you have a file on your system whose name ends with "TEXMF", with
some random digits before this? (probably in the directory where you
called apt-get upgrade or dselect, or you can find it with "locate
TEXMF). If yes, this is a known bug, and we will fix it soon.
For the time being, you have several options: Either you look into
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf. There's the line:
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOLDLOCAL,!!$VARTEXMF,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, there is a similar line without the VARTEXMF
entry. Copy the line from 05TeXMF.cnf into texmf.cnf, replacing the old
line, or just insert VARTEXMF.
Alternatively, you can open /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-bin.postinst in an
editor and look for the only place where two dollar signs appear
together:
mv $tempfile $$ETXMFC
change this to
mv $tempfile $ETXMFC
and call dpkg --configure -a

You can get the testing version and download it manually from the Debian
ftp servers; but in this case this won't help you.
Take our apologies for those inconveniences,
