tex-common error after upgrading to 18.04

**rveska** · May 2nd, 2018

Hi,

I get an error with tex-common every time I use apt (or other package managers) after upgrading to 18.04. I have tried to remove the package and reinstalling, but I still get the same error. It appears no matter what I do with apt, but it does not seem to affect anything though...

Code:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 
[sudo] password for user:

Please include this file if you report a bug.

Sometimes, not accepting conffile updates in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
causes updmap-sys to fail.  Please check for files with extension
