My computer crashed halfway through apt-get installing tex-common. When I tried again after rebooting I got various error messages relating to missing configuration entries eg
Essential entry missing in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf │
│ │
│ An essential entry is missing in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf: │
│ │
│ No setting of TEXFONTMAPS. │
│ │
│ TeX will not work until the configuration files are fixed. The version of /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf that is provided by the package should be available as │
│ /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf.ucf-dist. │
│ │
│ The configuration process has been aborted.
And similar ones for TEXMFMAIN, TEXMFDIST and TEXMF in files
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf
and
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
It says the files should be available as blah.cnf.ucf-dist, but all I can find are blah.cnf.ucf-old.
Trying to purge/reinstall/remove/anything using apt-get fails with the same error messages, and so does dpkg -a --configure (which apt-get points me to sometimes).
I feel like I'm in a pickle. Does anyone know a quick command to clean up the mess to reinstall, or where I can find the cnf files?
