Thanks for the answer :)
Actually I used synaptic after long time using aptitude safe-upgrade,
that kept back a lot of packages including texlive. I upgraded texlive
package (and its deps) via synaptic. It broke some of the packages and
required a manual fix. Bibtex package, that depends on
texlive-latex-extra, was not installed. Werner and Norman Vine pointed
me to the right direction, and installing biblatex solved the issue.

Hope these reports will help other users!
