sorry, I did not mean a log, but the error message, output of
update-updmap called by dpkg, like this:

root@fulvio:/home/fc# dpkg --configure tex-common
Setting up tex-common (6.09) ...
/usr/sbin/update-updmap: line 235: bin/mkdir: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package tex-common (--configure):
 installed tex-common package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tex-common
