Bug#369683: Build problems on arrakis (was: Bug#369683: tetex-base: fails to install: missing dependency?)

pi  tex-common                       0.23                           
iF  tetex-base                       3.0-18                         

Given the original bugreport it's no wonder that tetex-base is listed as
"iF", but:

arrakis:/# dpkg -S update-language
dpkg: *update-language* not found.
arrakis:/# dpkg -S bin/update-language
dpkg: *bin/update-language* not found.
arrakis:/# ls -l /usr/sbin/update-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23627 Feb 18 21:48 /usr/sbin/update-alternatives
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  5795 Aug 14  2004 /usr/sbin/update-catalog
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16060 Dec 15 19:25 /usr/sbin/update-passwd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  4990 Nov 19  2005 /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16547 Apr 13 22:36 /usr/sbin/update-xmlcatalog

But on vivaldi, another m68k buildd:
vivaldi:/home/ij# locate update-language
/usr/local/debian/buildd/unstable/usr/sbin/update-language
/usr/local/debian/buildd/unstable/usr/share/man/man8/update-language.8.gz
/usr/local/debian/user-chroots/caml/usr/sbin/update-language
/usr/local/debian/user-chroots/caml/usr/share/man/man8/update-language.8.gz

So, there's a broken chroot on arrakis as it seems, but I can't say why
tex-common wasn't installed proberly as a dependency of tetex-base

I would recommend to clean up arrakis' chroot and requeue that package
on arrakis again.
