Thanks for your report.

Could you please attach the file /tmp/updmap.8vnjL0FU to the report ? Thanks.

I have not the requested file. Here is a similar one

[Emmanuel Royer (emmanuel-royer-launchpad)]

sudo updmap --disable kpfonts.map
sudo updmap --enable Map=kpfonts.map

seems to have solved my problem. Now reinstalling tex-common seems to lead to no problem.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
