  Jean-Charles, did you receive the previous one, at least? ]

Hi,

I agree; thanks for the analysis.

The problem should disappear in about 5 hours when lmodern 0.92-9 is
dinstalled (0.92-9 uses the new updmap scheme and therefore doesn't need
the preinst trick to install 10lmodern.cfg).

Everything gets in order as soon as that version is configured (since
this causes lm.map to be installed).

[ 0.92-7 cannot be configured because tetex-bin cannot itself be
  configured since the 10lmodern.cfg installed in preinst declares
  lm.map, which is absent as long as lmodern isn't configured... ]

For people who have the problem, I suggest:

# cd /tmp
# wget http://incoming.debian.org/lmodern_0.92-9_all.deb
# dpkg -i lmodern_0.92-9_all.deb
# rm -f /etc/texmf/dvips/lm.map.dpkg-new
# dpkg --configure -a

This should fix everything I am aware of, except maybe the possible mess
caused if you followed the 'updmap-sys --syncwithtrees' advice. I still
have to check exactly what this does.

Yes, I think it is an annoyance for us.

Thanks,
