I think it was just my dirty hack.

Didn't work. While the packages failed I read the other mails and I was
reminded that my computer had a powerfail a few days ago. I'm not sure
if it was during the update, but I found two *.dist files in /etc/texmf.
I copied them over the other files and suddenly all three tetex packages
became installable.
Unfortunately latex reported errors so I decided to remove the packages.
I also removed the directories, that dpkg refused to delete.
After the new install everything works now :-)

Thank you all for your help.

greets Jimmy
