Bug Description

Constantly appearing with this error when running apt-get update. Tryed reinstalling packages, cleaning package system and other usual tricks, but none work. I believe it started after upgrading to 12.10.

Notice similar bug #774553 and bug #873567 for versions 2.09 and 2.10 .

Launchpad would not allow me to add this attachment when creating the bug report (didn't react on 'submit'). Now I see that it was because of file permissions. Anyway, here is the output mentioned in the text from updmap-sys.
