[lucida] Lucida installation problem

Hi David,

> I thought it was easy, but it turned out there is a bug in the

Indeed, it was a bug on my side - funny that I myself stumble
over these items ...

**** technical digression to be ignored *********
double error: first was that while I was testing some new
features of tlmgr, I actually created links in /usr/local/bin,
so all the calls to updmap in Debian where actually carried out
in my local TL upstream installation in ~/tl/2017.
And in addition, also due to some testing, I had local configuration
files overriding the global ones (running updmap in old times).
One see, that even the author of all these features is not 
safe from stupidity!
**** end of technical digression ******

And this is correct, besides that you do not have to stick to the
naming of directories at the end (bh/lucida) as long as you 
keep the top-level fonts dirs (texmf/fonts/{tfm,vf,type1} intact.

And in addition, run as root:
	updmap-sys
which should inform you that it used bsides other files also
	/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg

And when I cleaned up my mess, then I don't have any problems anymore
with both test files.

Thanks to all the reports on correct behaviour, my fault, very sorry!

All the best
