Not in the sense that I have a feeling what could cause the error.  But
I'm not at the end of my ideas for debugging...

First of all, let's make things easier by moving all but the necessary
files out of the way.  The necessary files in /etc/texmf/updmap.d/ are
00updmap.cfg and 10tetex-base.cfg.  Please rename all other files whose
name ends in cfg so that it no longer does, e.g.

mv <name>.cfg <name>.cfg.bak

Then run update-updmap (and just to be sure, try "dpkg --configure -a"
again, but I don't expect that this helps).

After that, please run the attached script updmap-sys-debug as root as follows

updmap-sys-debug >updmap.lg 2>&1

and send us the resulting file updmap.lg
