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.

That was fixed with upload 2.07 and closed with bug #571334
