Bug#337073: tex-common doesn't install (can't chmod ls-R file)

[Joe Drew <drew@debian.org>]

Package: tex-common
Version: 0.9
Severity: grave

tex-common fails to install because it can't chmod an ls-R file.
/var/lib/texmf exists on my system, but the ls-R file doesn't.

Setting up tex-common (0.9) ...
