Hi,
Let me make sure I understand what you are saying:
Simply changing the line 'if updmap 2> $tempfile; then' into
'if /bin/sh /usr/bin/updmap 2> $tempfile; then' in
tetex-extra.postinst and running 'tetex-extra.postinst configure'
gives you a different (more complete) psfonts_t1.map than running that
command without the change?
If so, presumably both ways run a different updmap program. Quite
strange, but if only this change does what you say, I cannot see any
other cause (this is very surprising because the first thing
tetex-extra.postinst does is set a sane PATH; it doesn't export it,
though, but that cannot explain why the 'updmap' and
'/bin/sh /usr/bin/updmap' calls give different results here).
Could you please:
1. Confirm the emphasized paragraph above.
2. Check whether running the 'tetex-extra.postinst configure' in
either setup several times in a row always gives the same result.
3. Tell us what you obtain from '/usr/bin/which updmap' (as root).
Check also in the script: insert
echo "Updmap found: $(/usr/bin/which updmap)"
just before the if...fi block that calls updmap.
4. Try the failing case with 'export PATH=...' instead of 'PATH=...',
to see if it works better (this will affect PATH searching in
updmap itself and in the other programs run from the postinst
script).
5. Tell us what 'ls -l /bin/sh' says.
