The install script of a package fails, hence apt declares the whole 
package installation to be not successful. apt can't do much in this 
situation except trying the script of the later version in the hope a 
script bug was fixed in the new version. This was not the case, the 
script failed (probably) due to a full file system. This is not uncommon 
when doing TL upgrades.

So, what do you expect? Should apt delete some random files and start 
over? apt could try to do some random system checks like "df -h", show 
users the results, so they get an idea why the installation failed. 
However this is an wishlist bug for apt, not a serious bug for "tex-common".

Can we close the issue here?
