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.
