$ dpkg -S /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf
dpkg: /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf not found.

I had tetex* packages installed before, but I removed them completely
(including config files). Can it be the source of problem?

After removing 01tetex.cnf file and running update-fmtutil, the texlive-
base-bin still can't be reconfigured nor installed again. I completely
removed all texlive-* and tex-common packages and there were still some
files in /etc/texmf, and dpkg -S told me it couldn't find their package.
I had to completely remove the /etc/texmf dir, and only after that the
installation of texlive worked.

I also tried to install texlive on a fresh new Ubuntu 7.04 in virtual
machine and it went smoothly.

So, thank you very much for solving my problem. There is certainly some
error in packaging system or something, because I didn't do any custom
changes or anything. I just installed and removed tetex, and texlive
couldn't be installed anymore. I don't know where and how report it and
if it should be reported, but my texlive now works. Thanks.

I don't how to change status of this bug, please do something with it.
