Dear Guix Hackers,

I see consistent failures of the package texlive-font-maps. It logs the error:

updmap [ERROR]: The following map file(s) couldn't be found:
updmap [ERROR]:         dvips35.map (in builtin)
updmap [ERROR]:         pdftex35.map (in builtin)
updmap [ERROR]:         ps2pk35.map (in builtin)
updmap [ERROR]: Did you run mktexlsr?

        You can disable non-existent map entries using the option
          --syncwithtrees.

This currently prevents me from updating my system.

The full log and the drv-file are attached.

I confirm that installing "texlive" without "texlive-biber" does 
not put "biber" on $PATH, which is intentional, as you write.

It is fixed now (by 3481a5cb37cacbb54f74a2b1fa52ffc5c972b09f, I 
guess), thank you!
Having "texlive" + "texlive-biber" in my system configuration lets 
me reconfigure my system and leaves me with "biber" on my $PATH 
again, without having "texlive-bin" installed.

Best Regards,
Julian Flake
