Cannot install texlive-full, kpsewhich frozen on 18.04

I'm trying to install texlive-full on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS with this command:

apt install texlive-full

All required packages are downloaded. When it starts to setup the packages, it starts the kpsewhich program in the background and waits for it to finish. But it never exits and it uses 100% CPU. I left my computer turned on for a whole night and it was still running in the morning. If I kill the kpsewhich process, then it gets started again. If I kill it about 3 more times then apt shows this:

Terminated
Terminated
Can't use string ("2") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/tl-paper line 112.
Terminated
Terminated

dpkg: error processing package texlive-base (--configure):

If I retry the same apt command, then it does exactly the same again. The full command line that takes forever is this:

kpsewhich --progname=pdftex --format=tex pdftexconfig.tex

How can I install texlive?

UPDATE

UPDATE 2

Rebooted my computer, and tried to update all packages and install again. Now it succeeded. I'm not sure what happened. I guess I'll never find out.
