Bug#677698: tex-common: post installation script fails due to the failing of updmap-sys
Hi Norbert,
> Can you give me the output of

Of course:
$ ls -R /var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg:
texlive/
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texlive:
texlive-base.cfg texlive-fonts-recommended.cfg texlive-latex-base.cfg
texlive-latex-extra.cfg texlive-math-extra.cfg texlive-pictures.cfg
texlive-science.cfg
$ cat /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg

# This file will *not* be included in updmap.cfg if the lmodern package is
# removed. Please read update-updmap(1) for details.
#
# This file is part of the set of files used to (indirectly) generate the
# final map files such as psfonts_{t1,pk}.map, {pdftex,dvipdfm}_{,n}dl14.map,
# ps2pk.map, builtin35.map and download35.map under /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/
# (with psfonts.map being a symbolic link to one of psfonts_{t1,pk}.map,
# pdftex.map a symbolic link to one of pdftex_{,n}dl14.map and dvipdfm.map a
# symbolic link to one of dvipdfm_{,n}dl14.map, the choice depending on your
# updmap configuration, which you can customize by altering the files in
# /etc/texmf/updmap.d/ and running update-updmap).
#
# You should *not* modify the aforementioned final map files under
# /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/ directly, for they are automatically generated by
# updmap-sys(1). Instead, you should read update-updmap(1), updmap-sys(1) and
# if you actually need to make changes to the aforementioned final map files,
# you should make the changes in /etc/texmf/updmap.d/, use update-updmap to
# regenerate /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg and finally updmap-sys to
# regenerate the final map files.
#
# Reading /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg can also help understand how all
# this works.
#
#
# Declare the basic Latin Modern map files for use by the updmap-sys(1)
# machinery.
Map lm-cs.map
Map lm-ec.map
Map lm-l7x.map
Map lm-math.map
Map lm-qx.map
Map lm-rm.map
Map lm-t5.map
Map lm-texnansi.map
Map lm-ts1.map
#
# This map file can be enabled for compatibility with old DVI files, but the
# better thing to do instead of using this workaround is to rebuild these
# files with new LM fonts so that they use up-to-date font names.
# Map cork-lm.map
As I wrote, everything started working fine as I commented the Map lm*.map
lines out.

As you can see, it is not there.
Running update-updmap as root gives me:
# update-updmap
update-updmap: skipping texmf
Regenerating '/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST'... done.
update-updmap has updated the following file(s):
/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST
If you want to enable the map files with this new file,
you should run updmap-sys or updmap.
Running updmap-sys after that still gives the message I already quoted in my
previous e-mail since the content of /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg is
unchanged. But update-updmap says that it is regenerating
/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST but on my system the link is
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -> /var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN so
running update-updmap is of no use. The content of [...]-TEXLIVEDIST looks in
good:
$ cat /var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST

As I see it, the problem is the wrong symlink
(/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -> /var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN instead
of to [...]-TEXLIVEDIST if I understand it right) and the existence of the
/v/l/t/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN. On an other up to date Debian Sid system of mine,
the symlink is the same wrong one. The difference is, that it is a dead link
due to the non existent /v/l/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN so the problem does not occur.
With best regards,
Julian
