First of all that's not the problem. I can use my own fonts by
calling update-updmap and udpmap as user chris. But upgrading of
tetex-extra fails because there are no more map files of my own
fonts in /etc/texmf. (But how does TeX know about the map files it
does not find?)
Secondly there is no updmap.d in $TEXMFHOME
root@lotus:~# updatedb
chris@lotus:~$ locate updmap.d
/etc/texmf/updmap.d
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg.dpkg-old
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg_keep-for-tetex-base
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg~
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/10cm-super.cfg
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/10my-map.cfg
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/10my-map.cfg~
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/10tetex-base.cfg
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/20tetex-extra.cfg
and no updmap.cfg in $TEXMFHOME
chris@lotus:~$ locate updmap.cfg
/etc/texmf/updmap.cfg.dpkg-old
/etc/texmf/updmap.cfg.postinst-bak
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg.dpkg-old
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg_keep-for-tetex-base
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg~
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/share/tex-common/00updmap.cfg
/usr/share/tex-common/00updmap.cfg.md5sum
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg.old
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg~
. But I can use my fonts as user chris ... Maybe that's ok, then I
misunderstand everything ;-).

Yes, sure, I know. But upgrading of tetex-extra still fails. If
that's ok, too, because my installation is bad I will not ask again.

With my teTeX 3.0 installation from source on my laptop I only had to
sudo updmap --enable Map MinionPro.map
and it was found in $HOMETEXMF.

Ok, but now upgrading of tetex-extra fails for all of those machines
on which users organize their fonts in $TEXMFHOME. What should the
admin do now, especially if he has no TeX experience at all?
