(Get the code!)
I discover the origin of the problem and I try to make some quickly workaround.
Some background. I need use the arial font for a university document (I don't like it, but it is a rule specification). I try to install the arial font following some tutorial that I don't remember the url, it could be:
sudo mpm --install=arial
sudo texhash
sudo updmap-sys --enable Map ua1.map
From: http://
I remember execute on some point updmap-sys. The trick doesn't work, and I read that helvet could work as clone font. So I give up with arial. Then some update of tex-common came and break all.
So, I inspect and digg the error today.
This error seems trigger all bad behaviour:
ERROR: The following map file(s) couldn't be found:
ua1.map (in /etc/texmf/
Did you run mktexlsr?
You can disable non-existent map entries using the option
--syncwithtrees.
I did a grep on the folder:
$ grep -irn web2c /etc/texmf/updmap.d
/etc/texmf/
/etc/texmf/
This shows:
"""
# You should *not* modify the aforementioned final map files under
# /var/lib/
# updmap-sys(1). Instead, you should read update-updmap(1), updmap-sys(1) and
# if you actually need to make changes to the aforementioned final map files,
# you should make the changes in /etc/texmf/
# regenerate /var/lib/
# regenerate the final map files.
"""
So, I discover that the file sudo nano /etc/texmf/
Map ua1.map
But the file ua1.map is missing. That cause a fatal on updmap-sys and it triggers a error on tex-common post-installation.
I comment the content like:
#Map ua1.map
And i run again manually:
$ sudo updmap-sys
updmap: resetting $HOME value (was /home/shakaran) to root's actual home (/root).

updmap: Updating ls-R files.
This time it seems to work. So I try to install the package.
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

So it works perfectly now. The main problem was a missing file. But I think that it should only show a warning, no a fatal breaking all updmap-sys and breaking also the post-installation. That is a SPOF(Single Point Of Failure) and it is not weird that somebody get the same error on a future.
Also, this hits on google as Debian bug with as similar bug-pattern.
