I'm in a hurry, therefore only very short.

Is the error upon installation, or when trying to build it?  Both give a
release-critical severity, so it doesn't matter, but...

,----
| updmap: This is updmap, version 1107552857
| updmap: using transcript file `/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.log'
| 
| updmap is creating new map files using the following configuration:

|   config file: `/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg'

This file shouldn't exist (neither in tetex-2.0.2 nor in 3.0).  Can you
please send us the output of 

ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/web2c
ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c/


,----
| !!! ERROR! The map file `eurosym.map' has not been found at all.
`----

This is in tetex-extra.  Can you send us the output of

head /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20tetex-extra.cfg 

Thank you for testing,
Frank
