Public bug reported:
I attempted to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy after purging all my texlive
packages. Upgrade exited unsuccessfully when I reached the texlive-base
package which was marked for reinstallation as a dependency of the
Rosegarden package. The reported error was in the post installation
script from the fmtutils script. I tried all the fixes mentioned on
Launchpad and elsewhere but nothing worked. Looking closely at the
indicated error messages revealed that omega was called but that it
could not be found. In fact, omega was not yet on the system because it
was in the texlive-omega package, which is not a dependency of the
texlive-base package. I had used omega previously so perhaps there was a
configuration file left hanging around that wanted to setup texlive with
the omega engine enabled, I don't know. Is this a general fault? I
solved my problem by installing Texlive-omega at the same time as
texlive-base. If this is a general fault I suggest that texlive-omega be
made a dependency of texlive-base or that the texlive-base configuration
be changed to exclude omega and related packages. This bug is similar
but distinguishable from those already listed. I believe this bug can be
reproduced if you purge all your texlive and tetex packages under gutsy
and then try to install texlive-base alone.
