"Sorry, texlive-base is already at the latest version" means that the 
package was partially installed by your prior attempt, and that the 
failure was during the post-installation setup.  I didn't initially 
realize that.

--syncwithtrees is an option for the updmap command.

What appears to be causing the problem appears to be a missing 
dvips35.map and ps2pk35.map.

   $dvips35 = &locateMap("dvips35.map");
   $pdftex35 = &locateMap("pdftex35.map");
   $ps2pk35 = &locateMap("ps2pk35.map");
   my $LW35 = "\n$dvips35\n$pdftex35\n$ps2pk35\n\n";

Those aren't getting values, and that's why the error comes up.

I'm showing that dvips35.map should be installed at 
/sw/share/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/dvips35.map by the 
tetex-texmf package.  Your output shows "not a directory" for 
/sw/share/texmf-dist, and that's suspicious.  Can I get the output from

file /sw/share/tetex-texmf

ls -l /sw/share/tetex-texmf

dpkg -S /sw/share/tetex-texmf

? If some package of ours is installing /sw/share/tetex-texmf as other 
than a directory, that can definitely produce problems, and we'd like to 
figure out what's doing that.

If the "dpkg -S ..." command doesn't return anything, then go ahead and 
remove it, then try "fink reinstall texlive-texmf ; fink install 
texlive-base".
