Description:

Some fonts are missing/not usable in version 016.42286-1.
pdflatex fails with messages such as:

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+480/600 --dpi 480 txsys
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for txsys. mktexpk: perhaps txsys is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

or

mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 2+44/600 --dpi 1244 rm-lmbx12
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for rm-lmbx12.
mktexpk: perhaps rm-lmbx12 is missing from the map file.

Additional info:

* package version(s): texlive-fontsextra 2016.42286-1
* config and/or log files etc.

Log file looke like:

mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+480/600 --dpi 480 txsys
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+480/600 --dpi 480 txsys
mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+480/600 --dpi 480 txsys


Steps to reproduce:

1) Install texlive-fontsextra 2016.42286-1
2) try to compile with pdflatex a minimal latex file usin, for example, lmodern bold fonts
3) Compilation fails with messages as above

Forgot to mention: manually reverting to texlive-fontsextra-2016.41439-2-any.pkg.tar.xz solves the issue.
