Can you do the following: - edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-base.preinst, search for a line starting with resurrect_conffile_sid .... and *add* after it the following line (it is the line 226 right at the end) resurrect_conffile_sid /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex texlive-base "$1" "$2" - edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-base.postinst, again search for resurrect_conffile_sid (this time it is line 73) and *ADD* after that line resurrect_conffile_sid /etc/texmf/metafont/misc/modes.mf texlive-base Then call dpkg --configure -a and see if that works. Do *NOT* reinstall ...
