The simplest way to get back to a sane /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg is to make sure that it contains the same thing as
cat /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap-hdr.cfg /var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs/texlive-*.maps
In previous packages the maps file was duplicated inside the install scriptlet and I must have forgotten to update it last time, causing people to have an inconsistent updmap.cfg. However fresh installations do not have the problem, so I'm a bit puzzled.
That was my fault, I was confused by the fact that pre_upgrade() and post_upgrade() scripts are run by different processes, so they can't share information. These install scripts are giving headaches: I'll change it to simply replace updmap.cfg by the concatenation of /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap-hdr.cfg, /var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs/texlive-*.maps and /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap-local.cfg as recommended upstream. -- Rémy.
