Not surprising.

*Before* you installed texlive? Anyway, it could also be that this is an
old bug of tex-common.

You installed tetex, then removed it, or purged it (ie left the
conffiles or removed everything)? I am trying to reproduce this bug in
one of my chroots.

Neither do I, I am just the Debian developer, not Ubuntu responsible.

FRANT (n.)
Measure. The legal minimum distance between two trains on the District
and Circle line of the London Underground. A frant, which must be not
less than 122 chains (or 8 leagues) long, is not connected in any way
with the adjective 'frantic' which comes to us by a completely
different route (as indeed do the trains).
