Bug#602964: dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure)
Hi Norbert, dear ucf maintainers,
thanks for your answer, so far!
I am not sure, whether this is of help, but here is the contents of
the file /var/lib/ucf/registry after I installed tex-common and
before I tried to install texlive:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf
2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf
3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf
4:4:4:4:4:4:4:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf
5:5:5:5:5:5:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf
6:6:6:6:6:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf
7:7:7:7:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/80DVIPDFMx.cnf
8:8:8:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf
9:9:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf
10:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That looks very very suspicious.
My ucf registry contains the same lines but without the number prefixes.
That's similar on my laptop. There, the file registry.0 reads
grub-pc /etc/default/grub
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/80DVIPDFMx.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf
tex-common /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
as well, while registry itself has single number prefixes:
2:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf
3:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf
4:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf
5:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf
6:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf
7:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf
8:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/80DVIPDFMx.cnf
9:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf
10:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf
11:tex-common /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf
12:tex-common /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
grub-pc /etc/default/grub
Does that mean, that I am going to run into the same problems on my
laptop, too? Like my desktop also my laptop, though quite old
hardware, is a rather new installation. !?!?!?!
For the ucf maintainers: Do you have any idea what that could be?
Is there maybe some dpkg, apt-get, aptitude, or some other cache
that I should reset?
Cheers, Markus
