As expected.

Yes, but please send us the file modification date (simply ls -l is
sufficient).

This is strange, since on my system:
alhambra:~# touch /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
alhambra:~# kpsewhich --format='web2c files' updmap.cfg
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
and updmap-sys also uses that file. There seems to be something amiss
on your system, but I have no idea what. For the time being, removing
the generated files from /usr/share/texmf/web2c should fix your
installation problems, but it might be that some time later the strange
prevalence of /usr/share/texmf over /var/lib/texmf strikes back...
