Bug#390004: tex-common fails to install trying to overwrite `/usr/share/texmf/doc'
Package: tex-common
Version: 0.28
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
tex-common_0.29_all.deb fails to install with error
below. Installation of other tetex components proceeds normally.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tex-common_0.29_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/texmf/doc', which is also in package latex-ucs-doc
...
Preparing to replace tetex-base 3.0-20 (using .../tetex-base_3.0-21_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement tetex-base ...
Preparing to replace tetex-extra 3.0-20 (using .../tetex-extra_3.0-21_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement tetex-extra ...
Trying to 'apt-get install -f' will reissue the same error message.
Doing a
$ dpkg -L latex-ucs-doc
will show that indeed, /usr/share/texmf/doc is populated by this package:
