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.
