Unfortunately, you have not shown the dpkg command lines you used.
Have you tried the following dpkg commands/sequence of commands
(untested)?
(1) dpkg --auto-deconfigure -i tetex-bin_3.0-2_<arch>.deb \
tetex-base_3.0-2_all.deb
or:
(2) dpkg --force-depends -i tetex-bin_3.0-2_<arch>.deb \
tetex-base_3.0-2_all.deb
How does apt do it?
