The problem seems to be a circular dependency between tex-common and texlive, Depending on the sequence of how these two were installed, (probably via a dependency,) it is impossible to update tex-common, (and/or texlive,) from apt-get. Apt-get creates the error when updating, and will not remove the error if tex-common and/or texlive is purged, (or removed,) and re-installed; aborting the re-installation, with the "... installation returned an error ..." message.
This may be an apt-get issue, since error files of a previous installation were not removed when the tex-common/texlive packages were purged/removed. This creates a security issue since System->Administration->Update Manager will attempt to install tex-common/texlive BEFORE installing security updates, and fail, and immediately exit, leaving security updates not installed, (but it does leave a !BAM icon on the bar, as the only message that something went wrong, and does not mention the security updates were not finished.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751024 Title: package tex-common 2.06ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: le sous- processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
