$ ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4720 2005-01-25 11:18 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

I have the same result.

# touch /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
# kpsewhich --format='web2c files' updmap.cfg
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg

And I remember that I had this also when the installation failed.

I don't know why it used it. Now it seems not to use it anymore :

# sh ./updmap-sys-debug 2>&1| grep /usr/share/texmf/web2c

prints nothing.


Thanks you for all your help.
