I understand that mdsymbol.map seems to have caused the problem. As
the mdsymbol has been just updated in TeXLive, it can be that is my
machine giving problem. But for this sort of failed update, what is
the "normal" procedure to restore it the system? Deleting
mdsymbol.map? something else?

Sorry for the basic question,
