[tex-live] updmap(-sys) not working as expected

[Gregor Zimmermann]

Hi all,

using a fresh TL09 from today, I tried to install additional fonts to
'texmf-local'. As far as I understood, the command of choice to enable
the map files would then be 'updmap-sys --enable ...'. Although there
were no problems or warnings while doing so, a subsequent 'dvips'-run on
a file using this font gave errors like

A check with 'updmap-sys -l' listed the map-files needed as being installed.

After using 'updmap' instead of 'updmap-sys' it worked. Shouldn't it be
the other way around?
