Public bug reported:
texlive-binaries lacks a dependency on ed that was previously present in
texlive-base-bin. Because texconfig uses ed for, well, editing files,
this causes texconfig to...no longer edit files, which causes it to
silently do nothing, but without returning a non-0 error code.
(Note that ed is depended on by ubuntu-standard, so the impact of this
bug is comparatively slim, but it does affect things like build chroots)
