Bug#421180: texlive update fails

[David Frey <dfrey@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-base
Version: 2007-4
Severity: important

An upgrade from my teTeX to texlive installation went wrong:

updmap: This is updmap, version 1167072206
updmap: using transcript file `/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.log'

updmap is creating new map files using the following configuration:

  config file: `/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg'
  dvips output directory: `/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap'
  pdftex output directory: `/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap'
  dvipdfm output directory: `/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap'

  prefer outlines: `true'
  texhash enabled: `false'
  download standard fonts (dvips): `false'
  download standard fonts (pdftex): `true'
  download standard fonts (dvipdfm): `true'

updmap: Scanning for LW35 support files
updmap: using map file `/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/dvips35.map'
updmap: using map file `/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/pdftex35.map'
updmap: using map file `/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/dvipdfm35.map'
updmap: using map file `/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/ps2pk35.map'

updmap: Scanning for MixedMap entries:
updmap: using map file `/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/ams/ams-bsr-interpolated.map'
updmap: using map file `/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/ams/ams-bsr.map'
updmap: using map file `/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/ams/ams-cmcsc-bsr-interpolated.map'

!!! ERROR! The map file `bsr-interpolated.map' has not been found at all.

    Either put this file into the right place or remove the
    reference from the configuration file. An automatic way
    to disable unavailable map files is to call
      updmap --syncwithtrees

    For manual editing, call
      updmap --edit


The help text is disingenious at best, since it does not work on Debian
installations.

Solution: remove 10tetex-base.cfg  20tetex-extra.cfg in
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/ and run update-updmap and then run updmap-sys.

The bug severity is important, since this is 
a) tedious
b) non-obvious for a Non-LaTeX expert.

I also removed cm-super.
