I already had to face this problems with the previous versions of
tetex-extra and tetex-base. It's solved in tetex-base but in tetex-extra
there is still a problem in the postinst script. I fixed it by adding
the parameter --cnffile to the call for the commands fmtutil and updmap,
but this was just a dirty hack(I'm not sure if I've done it the right way).
