Thanks for your quick reply,

I have rebooted, but I can still access my unstable box /tmp dir. Not sure
if it was erased but I see no /tmp/tetex-extra.postinst.*. there, regarding
tetex-extra there are just a number of /tmp/tetex-extra.updmap.* files
(I retried some times) containing

updmap: config file updmap.cfg not found.

Will try again later.

Cheers,
