There is a compatibility symlink from /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config to
/etc/texmf/dvips, this is intended. However, there should be no file
"dvips35.map" in that directory. The file should be found as

/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/dvips35.map

*first*, i.e. this file should be used even if a copy exists in
/etc/texmf/dvips..

The file dvips35.map from current tetex-base is in fact stored in
/etc/texmf/map/dvips/tetex/dvips35.map and made available with a symlink

/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips -> /etc/texmf/map/dvips

This symlink exists on your system, as you have shown earlier; but I
don't know whether the file is there. If it is there, the question is
whether it does not take precedence over the one in /etc/texmf/dvips,
and after all why that file exists in /etc/texmf/dvips, anyway.

I think the answer to the last question might be that it once was there
(in a version in sarge/sid when sarge was still testing), and has been
forgotten from the list in README.Debian - in fact it is listed in the
remove-oldmaps script.

The answer to the first question - why is the wrong file found - is
unclear to me. Sebastien, what is the output of the following commands:

kpsewhich --format=map dvips35.map
kpsewhere --format=map dvips35.map
kpsewhere dvips35.map
kpsewhich --show-path map

grep ^TEXFONTMAPS /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
grep ^TEXFONTMAPS /etc/texmf/texmf.d/*

Thanks in advance, Frank
