Bug#709142: dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure): updmap-sys failed
Package: tex-common
Version: 4.03
Followup-For: Bug #709142
I also hit this bug. I was doing my usual unstable to unstable upgrade, and
had to hold back a lot of TeX packages due to the language packages being NEW.
Downgrading tex-common did not help.

Please include this file if you report a bug.
Sometimes, not accepting conffile updates in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
causes updmap-sys to fail. Please check for files with extension
.dpkg-dist or .ucf-dist in this directory
