Hello everybody.
I upgraded from ubuntu lucyd to pangolin and almost everything is gone fine.
The only problem that now i have concerns the tex-common package.
I think it is a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/931274 ).
Anyway, when I try to do a number of operation, I receive the following error:

Configurazione di tex-common (2.10)...

There are some errors in the elaboration of:

Any idea please?

Hi Soonick.

I had the same error, but it works now. Have a look at my comment on the original bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/873567 .
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/873567)
Be aware though that it is more of a work-around than a fix and that you should be careful about touching system files. That is why I move them to another directory instead of deleting them. Then you can always move them back.

Best regards, Zilvador.
