I have a problem with texlive. For some reason I couldn't load the siunitx package anymore. Because I had problems with Texlive before, I accidently installed 2 versions next to each other with them having path dependencies. For some reason I can't recall I then decided just to delete texlive by just removing all the folders in which tex was present.

Now I tried to reinstall texlive, https://askubuntu.com/a/163683/27480. But during the install the following error occured:

[09:43|0] $ sudo apt-get install texlive-full
