Seems to be this issue: #429753 [FIXED 2007-10]: texlive-commong post-install action fails, blocking tex/latex install #425270 [FIXED texlive-base 2007-7]: texlive-common: still calling tetex-bin-upgrade One of the follow-ups of #429753 suggests that it is enough to comment out line 118 in the post-installation script. (tetex-bin-upgrade is obsolete for Lenny; it only exists in the Etch version the tex-common package.) If that is the case then it should also be possible to provide a symlink to /bin/true as a "fake" tetex-bin-upgrade command: ln -s /bin/true /usr/share/tex-common/tetex-bin-upgrade dpkg --configure texlive-common rm -i /usr/share/tex-common/tetex-bin-upgrade aptitude install -f (You can of course also use apt-get for the last step if you prefer.) If you want to play it safe then you can simply wait for texlive-common 2007-10 to come to Lenny.
