Hello,

I ran into some troubles (mostly resolved) upgrading to texlive 2010.

When using the lmodern package in a document, I got the following error message:
pathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 rm-lmtt10
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for rm-lmtt10.
mktexpk: perhaps rm-lmtt10 is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file rm-lmtt10): Font rm-lmtt10 at 600 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Removing the use of lmodern in the file made the "pdfization " work again.

I explored a bit more what could have happened and followed the advice
of locating the default pdftex.map file (through the log file)
and moving it to another location (see
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/920f740a4ddb0281/0e8e603273462dbf?show_docid=0e8e603273462dbf
for the complete thread where I found this advice).

And the pdfization worked again (with lmodern this time).
mv /usr/local/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
/usr/local/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.mapx
and the default map file  was after this move :
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map

I would not pretend to understand everything about this problem.
Should this be fixed in the binary/source packages? Could it be something I did?

For the record, I run a current, where both base and (binary) packages
have been updated yesterday.
Also, I deleted all texlive2009 related packages prior to a new fresh
installation of texlive2010, seeing that I was running into trouble.
All TeX-related packages were installed from the binaries of remote
servers (not compiled locally from source).
I even deleted manually everything in /usr/local/share/tex* that was
not uninstalled by a simple pkg_delete (no options given).

Cheers,
