Bug Description
Binary package hint: lmodern
On an Ubuntu Gutsy system, installing a full TeX/LaTeX suite in one go:
====BEGIN TERMINAL SESSION====
apt-get install lmodern tetex-doc-nonfree tetex-extra texlive-
[...]
Setting up lmodern (1.010x-3) ...

updmap-sys failed. Output has been stored in
/tmp/updmap.
Please include this file if you report a bug.
Sometimes, not accepting conffile updates in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
causes updmap-sys to fail. Please check for files with extension
.dpkg-dist or .ucf-dist in this directory

The output of updmap-sys:
====BEGIN /tmp/updmap.

updmap: Scanning for LW35 support files
!!! ERROR! The map file `dvips35.map' has not been found at all.
Either put this file into the right place or remove the
reference from the configuration files - see
update-
====END /tmp/updmap.
The dvips35.map file is correctly installed as /usr/share/
I believe this is a case where the lmodern package attempted to install itself too early in the process, before the necessary file was in place, and that an appropriate inter-package dependency may address the problem.
Confirmed by duplicate.
