Additionally, besides the above remove/install procedure, you can also try a 
less invasive approach. After setting the $packages variable as above, you can 
execute:

rpm -q $packages --scripts | egrep '^echo.*updmap\.cfg$' | sed -e 's/^echo \"\
(.*\)\".*/\1/g'

to see which Map and MixedMap entries should be present in your updmap.cfg file 
(besides the entries you've manually added). This approach is recommended if the 
original rpm's are no longer available (i.e. due to an outdated install like my 
TL2010 install) and updating is not an option.
