Bug#907380: tex-common: setting up of tex-common fails

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi,

> root@fulvio:/home/fc# dpkg --configure tex-common

That doesn't work for me at all:
$ dpkg --configure tex-common
dpkg: error processing package tex-common (--configure):
 package tex-common is already installed and configured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tex-common
$ 

But I tried dpkg-reconfigure which should do the same:
$ dpkg-reconfigure tex-common
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Running mtxrun --generate. This may take some time... done.
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... done.
Running mktexlsr /var/lib/texmf ... done.
Building format(s) --all.
	This may take some time... done.
$

Can you please edit
	/var/lib/dpkg/info/tex-common.postinst
and add a
	set -x
near the top, then call dpkg --configure again and send the output,
probably capturing it with tee or similar method.

Thanks.

Norbert
