After upgrading tex-common, it should have displayed a text like:
echo
echo "An essential entry is missing in $file:"
echo "No setting of $variable."
echo "teTeX will not work without it, you need to fix your configuration"
echo "files. The version of $file that is provided by the package"
echo "should be available as ${file}.dpkg-dist"
echo
echo "Exiting."
Didn't you see that?
