Same problem on upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS.

As inspired by the comments #9 and #10 I worked around with

    sudo apt-get remove --purge tex-common texlive-*
    sudo rm /etc/texmf/
    sudo apt-get install tex-common
    sudo apt-get install texlive-base
    sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended

Run without any errors.
