For people affectés by this issue, you may try following procédure :
- download the tex-common package
$ aptitude download tex-common
- unpack the deb package
$ dpkg-deb -R tex-common_6.04_all.deb fixfolder
- fix the postinst script in fixfolder/DEBIAN by removing the faulty
parametrer :--no-error-if-no-engine=luajittex (3 occurrences to remove) or
replace it by the fixed script joined in previous post
- rebuid the package
$ dpkg-deb -b fixfolder fixed-tex-common.deb
- remove previous bugged installation and installation fixed
$ sudo dpkg --force-all -r tex-common && sudo dpkg -i fixed-tex-common.deb
It worked like a charm for me, but the faulty parametrer may have been
there for some cases...
