dpkg error when using apt-get install
- by V-T
I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 from 12.04 and every time I use apt-get install for any package it ends with a bunch of errors about processing some of my latex packages. Including a snippet below:
Sometimes, not accepting conffile updates in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
causes updmap-sys to fail. Please check for files with extension
.dpkg-dist or .ucf-dist in this directory
dpkg: error processing package tex-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lmodern:
lmodern depends on tex-common (>= 3); however:
Package tex-common is not configured yet.
Reproduced by using sudo dpkg --configure -a and a total list of packages with this error is included here:
