Bug Description

Binary package hint: texlive

When using apt-get to install texlive (sudo apt-get install texlive) the entire system locks up on trying to download tex-latex-docs.
To clarify, by the entire system locks up I mean the mouse will not move, none of the keyboard keys have any effect, the terminal freezes and the power button will not bring up the shutdown menu.

Source Package: texlive
Ubuntu Release: 9.10 (Karmic)
Package Version: Karmic Repository Version
Expected: Download and install texlive package
Actually: Complete system freeze

On running the first time I didn't note the package causing the freeze.
On running a second time I noted it, however I wrote it incorrectly in the original post. It was actually texlive-latex-base-doc
However, it would seem the issue is not with this individual file anyway, since on running a third time (after submitting the report) I came across the same issue, but this time a different file caused the freeze.

I would extend that to all tex-...-doc packages
