This looks pretty similar to the problem I had. I did the following apt-get remove libkpathsea5 vim /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg (removed lines referring to comicvn.map and mscorevn.map) updmap-sys dpkg --configure -a (use dpkg --configure tex-common for less output if things go wrong)

I guess those files can be removed once the install has finished (I think the newer, equivalent config files go somewhere else). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to tex-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311032 Title: package tex-common 4.04 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in “tex-common” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This failed while updating from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04.
