This is definitely a dependency issue. tex-common needs texlive-base because the tex-common --configure process seems to search for the texlive-base package. In addition, I got to this point because I needed to install dvipng, which seems to depend on texlive-base-bin. texlive-base-bin is replaced by texlive-binaries. texlive-binaries depends upon tex-common.
Maybe texlive-binaries should also depend on texlive-base?
