Package debconf-2.0 is a virtual package provided by:
  debconf 1.4.30.13
  cdebconf 0.74.2
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package debconf-2.0 has no installation candidate

I really don't want to check, if teTeX works with cdebconf. Even if
not we should not hide the problems :-|.
