While I was exploring differences in behavior between pdflatex and latex

Where does this file come from? I don't see it in the recent tetex
packages. Is it possible that it is left over from an older tex
installation?
This is a real problem with our tetex packages that cost me a lot of
time to understand: The stuff in /sw/var/lib/texmf is used by the
various tetex binaries both at compile/configure/install time and at
runtime, but there is no control where this stuff actually comes from.
In may case it was an old (2002 vintage) fmtutil.cnf in
/sw/var/lib/texmf that took precedence over the newly installed one in
~/.texmf-config and caused wrong formats to be built even after
rerunning fmtutil and texconfig manually; all kinds of things like
jadetex crashed because of this, since the formats were the wrong kind
(tex instead of etex etc).
Removing that updmap.cfg (if it is really an older one compared to the
one in /sw/share/texmf-dist/web2c/ installed by tetex-texmf) and then
reinstalling the tetex packages might solve the problem, too.
