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.

Regards,

Tobias

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