[Bug 1241454] Re: Problem installing tex-common on upgrade to 13.10

[N7DR]

See bug 1249649... apparently, according to the response there, it was
this failure to install tex-common properly that led to a complete
failure of the upgrade.

At the end I was left with a system that had lost half the desktop
information, had no sound, could not mount remote disks, and couldn't
even find the optical drives.

Over the years I've had several less-than-stellar experiences upgrading
Kubuntu on various machines, but this was without doubt the worst --
all, apparently, because of a failure to upgrade TeX properly (goodness
knows how the two are related, or why it happened only on one of the
three machines I upgraded; but I've given up trying to understand it and
switched to wheezy on the affected machine since I really need that
machine to work properly).
