Err, no, it's different.  dpkg thinks that he has tetex-base_3.0-10.  So
the file should be i /usr/share/texmf, not /usr/share/texmf-tetex.  But
the file is in /usr/share/texmf-tetex, so dpkg is wrong about which
versions are installed.

Helge, can you tell us when and in which order you did your last
upgrades?  And what's the output of

for package in tetex-base tetex-extra tetex-bin; do zcat /usr/share/doc/$package/changelog.Debian.gz | head -1; done
zcat /usr/share/doc/tex-common/changelog.gz | head -1

Regards, Frank
