Package: tex-common Version: 2.06 Severity: important Hello, when tex-common is installed while textlive-binaries is already unpacked, but techlive-base isn't installed, postinst aborts with an error: ... + dpkg-query -W -f=${Status} texlive-base No packages found matching texlive-base. + stat= dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ... This can easily be reproduced by installing textlive-binaries in a clean chroot. (textlive-binaries must be unpacked BEFORE installing tex-common in order to reproduce the problem) Maybe tex-common should depend on techlive-base and/or should gracefully handle the non-existance of texlive-base in postinst when calling dpkg-query.
