I suspected this. update-fmtutil should write into /var/lib/texmf

This looks okay.

So you currently have a correct version of update-updmap that does write
into /var/lib/texmf. Hm, I suspected that there once was a version of
update-updmap that could be fooled to write in the wrong directory, by
setting TEXMFVAR wrongly. However, this doesn't seem to be the case.
Could it be that you copied these files (updmap.cfg, fmtutil.cnf)
manually from either /etc/texmf or from /var/lib/texmf/web2c/ to
/usr/share/texmf/web2c?
Anyway, if you remove them or move them to a place they cannot be found,
you should be able to proceed, and either successfully install
teTeX-3.0, or at least get on to the next error.
