At the time postinst hangs, please check;

- does /tmp/updm* exist and if exists what contents is it?
- does /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg exit?
- does /etc/texmf/updmap.cfg exits?
- does /etc/texmf/dvips/ contain several *.map files?

what happens if you modified /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.postinst
(line #58) as

	${UPDMAP} -v && \
	/usr/bin/updmap --cnffile ${MAPCFG} --outputdir /etc/texmf/dvips

(add "&& \" and remove  "2> ${MAPTEMP}" too)

and run "/var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.postinst" ?

Thanks,			     2003-1-7(Tue)
