package thailatex (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Ulrik Nyman]

Was doing an upgrade from 12:04 to 14:04.

After getting the graphical system working again this error message was automatically reported after logging in.

The bug seems related to #1260721 and #1104300

Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04

thailatex:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2013.20140215-1
  Version table:

        500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected: The package to update like all packages on the system when upgrading.

Happened: The error was reported after getting the rest of the system working.
A lot of latex related packages were reporting errors during the upgrade. I had to call the upgrade command several times before getting the upgrade to work.
