Bug in Texlive &co ??

[John Darrington]

Yesterday I did "guix package --upgrade" and now, a simple latex file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin {document}
This is a test.
\end {document}

fails with 

/gnu/store/161gb51263qn8kydvdcd3jq6bcax3abf-texlive-texmf-minimal-2016/share/texmf-dist/web2c/mktexnam:
 Could not map source abbreviation  for ecrm1000.

Rolling back my upgrade and it works fine.
