Bug#567714: tex-common doesn't install without texlive-base
Package: tex-common
Version: 2.06
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When installing tex-common, whithout having texlive-base 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 creating a Squeeze chroot and install texlive-binaries.
(texlive-binaries must be unpacked BEFORE tex-common to reproduce the problem!)
Either tex-common should depend on texlive-base or the dpkg-query-Error should be catched in postinst.
