Bug#772167: Interrupted upgrade breaks system
Package: texlive-base
Version: 2014.20141024-1
Severity: minor
Hi Norbert,
I just did a dist-upgrade on a laptop I hadn't used for a few weeks.
I didn't check that the power cord was plugged in, and the laptop crashed
during the upgrade.
After rebooting, I couldn't get APT to recover because the file
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/ls-R was empty. I needed to manually
reinstall textlive-base to get it fixed.
I don't know if you consider this a bug -- if you don't, please close this
bug report. (And I'll troll the Debian mailing lists complaining about how
DDs routinely close perfectly valid bug reports.)
(Just kidding.)
