Here, configuration of many packages failed because tex-common could not be
configured:

dpkg: error processing package tex-common (--configure):

The mentioned file /tmp/mtxrun.E1obqdFi no longer exists.  However,
following the above suggestion, I attempted to install
texlive-latex-extra.  It was already installed, but apparently some of its
dependencies were not.  Some dependency link is missing?

home:~/family/arisia/2020 $ sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
