Bug Description

This bug happened after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04.

After upgrading there were some broken package dependencies here. Some affected texlive, probably they could have caused it.
I have resolved those broken dependency issues, but I don't know yet, if that has fixed the issue for me.

If you are also affected, please have a look for broken package dependencies and leave a comment here.

We will see, if the issue reappears, but currently I am still fighting with the proprietary NVIDIA graphics card driver :-( , so I will have a look at this later.
