Bug#338638: tetex-base: dies when /usr/local/ read-only
Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2c-8
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.1.2
Trying to upgrade from 20.2c-8 to 3.0.10:
dpkg: tetex-base: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request:
tetex-bin depends on tetex-base.
(Reading database ... 98267 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing tetex-base ...
rm: cannot remove `/usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R': Read-only file system
dpkg: error processing tetex-base (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
tetex-base
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tetex-extra:
tetex-extra depends on tetex-bin (>= 2.99); however:
Version of tetex-bin on system is 2.0.2-31.
dpkg: error processing tetex-extra (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
tetex-extra
