我在 Ubuntu Precise 上运行 TeX Live 2012。安装时我遵循本教程。昨天，我使用以下工具更新了 Tex Live 2012 的软件包（大约 40 个）。
$ sudo tlmgr --gui
更新已成功安装并且一切仍正常运行。
今天，我注意到apt-get运行sudo apt-get install something或时输出错误sudo apt-get autoremove。这是后一个命令的控制台输出。
$ sudo apt-get autoremove

据我所知，LaTeX 本身仍然运行良好。
笔记：以防万一以下内容与主要问题有关。我不久前还注意到 man 路径不再指向通常的文件夹。MANPATH 问题之前已经描述过。但是，我无法在我的机器上解决它。
$ echo $MANPATH
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/doc/man
答案1
最后，我卸载了所有与 TexLive 相关的软件包，错误消息就消失了。以下是我所做的...
sudo apt-get remove tex-common texlive-base texlive-binaries texlive-common \
texlive-doc-base texlive-latex-base texlive-local texlive-latex-base-doc
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
我可能会使用广告中的texlive-backports PPA重新安装 TexLive。
我还发现 MANPATH 问题源于我某次自定义配置。这是从我的.zshrc文件中间接加载的。
# TexLive 2012
export MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/doc/man
