Package: texlive-base
Severity: critical
Version: 2007.dfsg.2-4

While building matplotlib on hppa, the following error occurred:
(see 
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=matplotlib&ver=0.98.5.3-1&arch=hppa&stamp=1243891746&file=log
 )

If tex-common is not configured you can ignore this error message!
Otherwise, please include this file if you report a bug.

/var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-base.postrm: line 124: update-texmf-config:
command not found
dpkg: error processing texlive-base (--purge):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127
========================================================================

Note that using a binary after the package containing it has been
removed is, well bad.

For extra pain, this renders the buildd chroot unusable, because
textlive-base fails to install or remove and breaks all future apt
invocations.
