[tex-live] texlive 2008 update --all loses update.cfg, help?

[John Owens]

Hey, I haven't run tlmgr --update all (OS X) for a good while, and did
so today. I've done this many times in the past with no problems. It
installed/updated 46 things including many bin packages. I put the
transcript below - it caused a large number of cascading errors that
start with updmap.cfg not being found.

Now, updmap.cfg is right where I left it:

$ ls -l .texlive2008/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
-rw-r--r--  1 jowens  staff  3427 Apr  9 13:59 .texlive2008/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg

but the tex install seems to have lost all memory:

$ kpsewhich updmap.cfg
$ texhash --verbose
texhash: Done.

So I'm going to have to re-teach it where things are. (Short advice in
doing so appreciated.) The reason I'm mailing this list is: What
happened in this update to screw things up this badly? Again, I've
done this many times in the past with no issues. And once I do reteach
it, what do I need to do to fix the things that went wrong at the end
of the updmap?
