I had tetex* packages installed before, but I removed them completely (including config files). Can it be the source of problem?

After removing 01tetex.cnf file and running update-fmtutil, the texlive-base-bin still can't be reconfigured nor installed again. I completely removed all texlive-* and tex-common packages and there were still some files in /etc/texmf, and dpkg -S told me it couldn't find their package. I had to completely remove the /etc/texmf dir, and only after that the installation of texlive worked.

I also tried to install texlive on a fresh new Ubuntu 7.04 in virtual machine and it went smoothly.

So, thank you very much for solving my problem. There is certainly some error in packaging system or something, because I didn't do any custom changes or anything. I just installed and removed tetex, and texlive couldn't be installed anymore. I don't know where and how report it and if it should be reported, but my texlive now works. Thanks.

I don't how to change status of this bug, please do something with it.
