Thanks for this hint.  Looks like the missing dependency is on an
updated version of texlive-base.

A Breaks isn't enough to force the upgrade in time, since that is
satisfied by just deconfiguring texlive-base before running
texlive-binaries.postinst.  A Conflicts or Depends would work.

At first glance, a Depends seems likely to make the most sense, except
that it would make a circular dependency.  Any idea why texlive-base
depends on texlive-binaries?  Which is meant to be lower in the
dependency chain?

Another possibility might be to move updmap-sys back into the
texlive-binaries package.

What do you think?
