Hello Vincent,

Note that "apt install -f" was still giving the same error.

The packages of texlive-bin source were upgraded from
   2025.20250727.75242+ds-5+b2
to
   2026.20260303.78225+ds-4
but the packages of texlive-base and of texlive-extra sources
were still at 2025.20260124-1.

Upgrading the remaining to the 2026.* versions made the error
disappear.

Well, then: we need to introduce a Breaks statement into texlive-bin to make sure texlive-latex-base (that package contains the files in question) has been upgraded, when texlive-bin is upgraded. I don't see partial upgrades as normal use cases, hence I lower the severity to important.

Thanks for the test + report anyway

If the mixed 2025 + 2026 packages cannot be handled, the situation
should be disallowed via some Depends, Breaks, and/or Conflicts
declaration in particular to ensure that dependency resolution
cannot yield such a situation.
