If I remember correctly the machine was using unstable all the time. I
just had not done an sudo aptitude safe-upgrade for over a year and was
still using the tetex packages.

I looked at the document. Great work.

I did not find it with google.

If the output in the updmap logfile had a reference like „read the
files /usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian*” I might have found it.
Also a note in the warning running updmap-sys --edit which finds a
modified configuration file (and recommends to delete it, if I remember
correctly) might have helped.

Thanks again for this great answer and sorry, that I did not read the
files in tex-common, which are great documents.

Please close this bug report, if you do not have any other reasons. I do
not.


Greetings,

Paul
