[bernd]

While upgrading from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 update-manager encountered a problem with package "tex" (Version: TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013/Debian) kpathsea version 6.1.1). The manager suggested I report this a bug. Upgrade continued but later also encounterd problem with "tex-common." Because there was no internet connection the upgrade whas aborted.
