The following is a part of the mktexmf:

sauterroot=`kpsewhich b-$rootname.mf 2>/dev/null`
if test -n "$sauterroot"; then
  rootfile=$sauterroot
  rootname=b-$rootname

Thus a proper fix is to copy b-bbold.mf into
$TEXDIR/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/sauter/

Then mktexmf will generate a correct bbold11.mf.

Best regards,
Akira
