E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) 解决方案

1. 错误

　　在使用 apt-get 安装工具时，无论安装什么软件都会遇到这样子的错误：

dpkg: warning: files list file for package `tex-common' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
(Reading database ... 150177 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace tex-common 2.06ubuntu0.1 (using .../tex-common_2.06ubuntu0.1_all.deb) ...

2. 解决方案

1) 方案一

cd /var/lib/dpkg
sudo mv info info.bak
sudo mkdir info
重新安装，在此为：
sudo apt-get --reinstall tex-common

　　这个方案来源于[1]。这种方法可能会造成安装软件时出现一大片 warning 。

2) 方案二

cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
sudo mkdir tex-common
sudo mv tex-common.* tex-common

　　这个方法是根据方案一想出来的，也可以解决这个错误。暂时不知道会不会造成其他错误。

3) 方案三

sudo apt-get purge tex-common
sudo apt-get install tex-common

　　这个方案其实就是将 tex-common 清除后，重装。来源于[2]。
