Bug#980161: tex-common fails to update to 6.15 - fmtutil failed

[Dario Andres Susman <dariosusman@sinectis.com.ar>]

Hi Hilmar!
Thank you for answering.

There's plenty of space, but, indeed, there seems to be something wrong 
with my box.
I re-tried to upgrade and it worked.

Disk space:
root@warpcore:~# df -h

udev            3.8G     0  3.8G   0% /dev

I've reinstalled the packages now, for good measure, but I think I may 
have to reinstall all packages on this box now :S

root@warpcore:~# dpkg -S  File/Spec
libperl5.32:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.32.0/File/Spec/Unix.pm

Again, thank you for answering.
