Hello,

okay I added myself to the users group and now it works.

Because of the getting informed.
I issued "apt-get install --reinstall tex-common" and got nothing which said 
that I can expect problems.
In /usr/share/doc/tex-common/README.Debian is this explicitly written down, 
but some message from postinst or a mail to the system account would be 
better.

Thanks
Thomas
