Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-WVvQWm/83-texlive-latex-extra-doc_2019.20190930-1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ------------- the offending file is not contained in texlive-latex-recommended-doc in version 2019.20190930-1 anymore, but as you can see it's being unpacked in the wrong order. i'm not sure what versioned breaks/depends/.. is needed to make this work, but manually installing texlive-latex-recommended-doc in the newer version first and then running apt upgrade again fixed the issue here. regards, dario
