That is bizarre. The only thing I can think of is to make sure everything is OK in your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Try: ...then "apt-get install texlive".

Hi indienick,

Thanks for your suggestions but I've done that already a zillion times and it didn't help. From the /tmp/updmap.G9rMzWNR listed above it seems `lm-cs.map' is missing:

updmap: This is updmap, version 1167072206

updmap is creating new map files using the following configuration:

Either put this file into the right place or remove the
