This looks pretty similar to the problem I had. I did the following 
apt-get remove libkpathsea5
vim /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
(removed lines referring to comicvn.map and mscorevn.map)
updmap-sys
dpkg --configure -a
(use dpkg --configure tex-common for less output if things go wrong)

It spits out

each time any package to do with tex is configured, but the install
seems to be continuing OK. I guess those files can be removed once the
install has finished (I think the newer, equivalent config files go
somewhere else).
