And these states as reported in the first mail:

Versions of packages texlive-base is related to:
pn  tetex-base                    <none>     (no description available)
ii  tetex-bin                     2007-4     TeX Live: teTeX transitional packa
pn  tetex-extra                   <none>     (no description available)

are really true?  It's a bit strange, because the presence of
tetex-extra.list hints that tetex-extra was installed, too - but then
why wasn't it upgraded, but purged?  Did you do any manual
selection/deselection?
