I'm glad you told me about this. In TeX Live 2012 updmap has a new
feature that allows a system to have more than one updmap.cfg, with
preference given to one in TEXMFLOCAL (which is /usr/share/texmf-site on
Cygwin). Unfortunately, the script fails with the error message you got
if TEXMFLOCAL doesn't exist.
This means that all the updmap-sys commands in the existing
texlive-collection-*-20120628-1 postinstall scripts have failed. I need
to fix this before I pursue your suggestion further. I think the way to
fix it is to update texlive-collection-basic so that it contains (a)
/usr/share/texmf-site and (b) a postinstall script that will rerun the
'updmap-sys --enable' commands from the existing
/etc/postinstall/texlive-collection-*.sh.done scripts.
Suggestions for a better way to do this are welcome.
Another consequence of the fact that updmap reads more than one
updmap.cfg file is that /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg should
not be included in the distribution. (It effectively enables all
possible maps that are not explicitly disabled in
/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg.) So my new release of
texlive-collection-basic has to exclude this file.
If any TeX users on this list want to help make sure that I've got it
right, you could test it as follows:
1. Save the attached script and make it executable.
2. Issue the following commands:
mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf-site
rm -f /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
/path/to/texlive_fix_updmap.sh
As a variation on this, you could first delete (or move)
/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg. It should get recreated.
Thanks.
