Bug#182215: tetex-bin: updmap hangs, if a map-file is not present

["Martin Kögler" <e9925248@student.tuwien.ac.at>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I recompiled the tetex-packages and when i tried to install them, they failed:

If a map file is not present, the cat in transLW35 will be called without any 
parameter, so updmap waits for input on stdin and hangs.
Because tetex-base calls this script in postinst, tetex-base is not installable.

The map files seem to disappear after a purge of the tetex packages.

This workaround works for me:
