I am using Ubuntu 14.04, newly upgraded from 12.04. I was trying to upgrade my software, but it is showing many, many dpkg errors regarding texlive-*.

When I type following command:

sudo apt-get upgrade

I get the following error:

and many more of such types.

How can I fix this?

This appears to be Ubuntu bug #1236951. See the link for workarounds and the status of a fix.

You can run apt-get install -f. If this doesn't fix your system, then something is really wrong, and a fix might be to remove the TeX related packages and try again.

Same situation for me, remove the older directory, then reinstall:

sudo apt remove --purge tex-common texlive-*
sudo rm -rf /etc/texmf/
sudo apt install tex-common texlive-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended latex-cjk-all
