Did you also purge tex-common? Many important configuration files are in
that package. What is the output of
ls -l /etc/texmf/texmf.d/
egrep ^TEXMF /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
? I am asking, because this here looks suspicious:

On my system, running mktexlsr gives
# mktexlsr
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFDIST-TETEX...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.
The important thing here is /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFDIST-TETEX. This
file is used to find files located under /usr/share/texmf-tetex/, which
is where dvips35.map can be found:
$ dlocate dvips35.map
tetex-base: /usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/dvips35.map
