This looks OK
            if which updmap-sys >/dev/null; then
                    # we also have to check that texlive-base is installed
                    # and configured, otherwise we cannot be sure that
                    # all necessary basic files are present
                    #
                    # dpkg-query has two defects wrt not existing packages
                    # - it is noisy to stderr
                    # - it returns 1
                    # so shut both errors up
                    stat=$(dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}' texlive-base 2>/dev/null || true)
                    case "$stat" in
                        "install ok installed")
                            do_it=1
                            ;;
                        *)
                            do_it=0
                            ;;
                    esac
                    if [ "$do_it" = 0 ] ; then
                        echo "texlive-base is not ready, delaying updmap-sys call" >&2
                    else
but is maybe failing??? Perhaps the OLD texlive-base without updmap-sys is still installed OK, but the OLD texlive-binaries containing updmap-sys is already removed??? Though I would have though the earlier conditional "if which updmap-sys" would have exited already.


On a related note: This does not look OK, is it checking for texlive-base or for context?? Does this stanza perhaps also trigger updmap?

            case "$stat" in
                "install ok installed")

                tempfile=$(mktemp -p /tmp mtxrun.XXXXXXXX)
