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.
