Ok, dvipdfmx needs a fix. Please try what Kohda-san has suggested, ie
remove the mktexlsr line in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/dvipdfmx.postrm

This is even stranger, but I cannot say anything about what has happened
here.
Please try to purge the dvipdfmx as above. Then again try to purge
preview-latex-style, and all the texlive packages.
After this reinstallation should work.
Thanks for your cooperation and all the best
