I'd suggest deleting the personal map files if you don't intend to make use of anything but those in the system.

Howdy,

Good observation! That should be

rm -r ~/.texlive2009

and if that gives permission denied (a symptom of using `sudo updmap' rather than `sudo updmap-sys') you need

suod rm -r ~/.texlive2009

since root will own the ~/.texlive2009 directory.

The ~/.texlive2009 directory will be recreated if needed so no worry.

Good Luck,
