Thanks for reporting. I can't reproduce it here, and I understand only
part of it. One problem is that in updmap (which is called as
updmap-sys here) we have
tmpdir=${TMP-/tmp}/$progname.$$
Therefore you would have to set TMP, not TMPDIR, to influence
updmap(-sys). Probably that's a bug by itself, and we should fix this.
On the other hand, if I set TMPDIR to /var/tmp/ and make /tmp
non-writable (chmod a-w didn't work for root, strangely, I removed the
complete directory), then I get
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/updmap-sys.28024': No such file or
directory
In other words, the $tmpdir variable has (as expected) been assigned
"/tmp", and the error message prints the substitution of $tmpdir, not
$TMPDIR as it is in your case.
Please help us to debug this problem and follow these instructions:
- Save the attachment as /usr/local/bin/updmap-sys
- make sure that it is found ("which updmap-sys"); if updmap-sys has
been called in the same shell session before, sometimes the old
version is still used
- run
updmap-sys 2>&1 | tee updmap.log
and send us the resulting file updmap.log
After that, to fix your system, do
export TMP=/var/tmp
until we know how to properly fix it.
Thanks in advance, Frank
