No, this I have done lots of times here. The debug file revealed the
problem, or at least part of it:
+ setupCfgFile
+ locateWeb2c updmap.cfg
+ kpsewhich --format=web2c files updmap.cfg
+ cnfFile=/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
So there are two problems. The first is that there is a file updmap.cfg
in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/ on your system; I assume that
dpkg -S /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
will not give any output. The file must be some leftover - if it is a
real file, please delete it or move it away; if it is a symbolic link,
please look and tell us where it points to before removing it.
The next question is why this file is taken instead of the one in
$TEXMFVAR. You have previously sent us:
> # kpsewhich --format='web2c files' updmap.cfg
> /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
This is exactly the same command which is called by updmap, and it has a
different output.
Has this been called in the same setup as you use for installing
packages? It could, for example, make a difference whether you are
logged in as root on a console or did a "su" after logging in as user,
or from a user Xsession.
To debug this further, please get to a shell as you would do for
installing packages, and send us the output of the following commands:
# kpsewhich --format='web2c files' updmap.cfg
# kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'
# kpsewhich --format='web2c files' texmf.cnf
# echo $TEXMF
# echo $TEXINPUTS
