Bug#1061503: tex-common failed to configure

[richarda <bug.reporter@mail.sheugh.com>]

Package: tex-common
Version: 6.18
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

This report is written via my Rasperry Pi mailserver. 
The machine that had the problem is an AMD64 machine 
running Trixie/Bookworm/Sid

The problem seems to be similar to #994264 
where after every update via apt-get dist upgrade 
the configureation of tex common failed to complete, 
with reference to a file /tmp/updmap.XXXXXXXX

Typical content was : 
/quote
updmap will read the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
  /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap may write changes to the following updmap.cfg file:
  /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
dvips output dir: "/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap"
pdftex output dir: "/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap"
dvipdfmx output dir: "/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfmx/updmap"
updmap [ERROR]: The following map file(s) couldn't be found:
updmap [ERROR]:         epiolmec.map (in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg)
updmap [ERROR]:         esint.map (in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg)
updmap [ERROR]:         knitfont.map (in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg)
updmap [ERROR]:         scanpages.map (in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg)
updmap [ERROR]:         xypic.map (in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg)
updmap [ERROR]: Did you run mktexlsr?

        You can disable non-existent map entries using the option
          --syncwithtrees.
/unquote

the missing *.map files were nowhere to be found on the system. 

I determined that texlive-latex-extra provided the missing files. 
I installed texlive-latex-extra and during that installation process, 
tex-common was configured. 

I will add that other suggested fixes suc as dpkg-reconfigure locales
failed to solve the configuration problem.
