I've been watching the package install details every time I update now, looking for clues for what to do to fix this. I can see the part where updating tex-common blows up, but it scrolls by too quickly for me to spot what the error is or what to do about it.
So yes, it's still happening. Every time I run an update Ubuntu tries to update tex-common, and every time it fails. Sometimes that means I'll wind up with error messages upon bootup, which may be safely ignored it seems, but it would be nice to know how to fix this. -- 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/1270410 Title: package tex-common 4.04 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in tex-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This was generated while doing upgrade to newest ubuntu, upgrader stopped unity crashed and I had to cntrl/alt f2 to get a terminal and had to "sudo killall dpkg" and then "sudo dpkg --configure -a" several times to complete the upgrade to the point it was safe to reboot into a stable environment.
