I upgraded one laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. Most of
the process went pretty smoothly. However, every software update after
the upgrade complains about a failed install:
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
38 not fully installed or removed.
For the sake of brevity, I won't post the entire string of error messages, but it boils down to errors encountered while processing: tex-common
Researching a bit leads me to this bug report - "package tex-common 4.04 failed to install/upgrade" - which proves to be interesting reading. The issue is also listed on the TrustyTahr Release Notes under Known Issues.
Towards the bottom of the bug report a fix has been suggested (post #12). Also for users that know they have the tex-common package installed (appears to be pretty common), it is suggested to purge the package before the upgrade and then re-install (post #13).
Ah, the joys of upgrades!
