Howdy,

Manually remove that line and rerun

sudo updmap-sys

and all should be good. There may be another way but that might have to wait until tomorrow. I'm guess in that some quotes that prevent expansion of ${PKGNAME} were used so whatever map that was will just have to wait for the fix.

PS: I tried the --syncwithtrees option and got an error because of some embedded quotes so that didn't work and I resorted to the dirty but direct method above.

Good Luck,
