Okay, so you're bitten by #294197. We should somehow inhibit creation of non-existent directories. > I reset them to $HOME/.texmf-var and -config. Is this OK? Yes, you should do this. After all, the .texmf-var and -config dirs will only contain the ls-R files if you always use updmap-sys (not updmap), and won't hurt much. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
