When upgrading the texlive packages in testing, I obtained the following error:

The map file `ams-bsr-interpolated.map' has not been found at all.

I am afraid I cannot copy more output, because I ran fmtutil-sys --all and lost the previous console output :-(
This task depends upon

This is harmless, but not very pretty. I did not have this error msg on my system when I updated, but I understand that it can happen in various situations. I'll try to find a robust solution to this before moving texlive 2009 to extra.

For the time being, just remove the line with ams-bsr-interpolated (which no longer exists in TeXLive) in your /usr/share/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
and then run manually
sudo updmap-sys --nohash
Alternatively you can simply run
sudo updmap-sys --syncwithtrees
which automatically comments out all unavailable map files in updmap.cfg.

Thank you Firmicus. Remove ams-bsr-interpolated from the updmap.cfg and run # updmap-sys --syncwithtrees solves problem for we as well.

I had the same problem (although I knew it's not serious, it might be quite freaky for some people).

Still appears for me with the newest texlive 2009.16512-1. Before applying the fixes suggested in the bug report, though.

This does not occur with a clean install, but only when someone's updmap.cfg contains outdated entries. I cannot do anything about this, sorry. Arch install scripts should not remove lines from config files without the user knowing about it. This is also mentioned on the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeXLive#Important_information which is mentioned as compulsory reading during install :) I'm thus closing this again.
