kpsewhich wrongly guesses the file type:
$ KPATHSEA_DEBUG=-1 kpsewhich pdftex.map 2>&1 | grep 'Search path for' | tail -1
kdebug:Search path for map files (from texmf.cnf)
Let us try to find out what pdftex uses to find pdftex.map:
$ echo '\relax 42\end' | KPATHSEA_DEBUG=-1 pdftex 2>&1 | egrep '(Search path
for|pdftex.map)' | sed '/file=pdftex.map/q' | tail -2 | head -1
kdebug:Search path for PostScript header files (from texmf.cnf)
Ok, now we know what to do:
kpsewhich --format='PostScript header' pdftex.map
