Description
System
- xuname: Void 5.14.16_1 x86_64-musl GenuineIntel notuptodate rDFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
- package:
- texlive-fontsextra-2020.57042_1
- texlive-20200406_10
Expected behavior
Running pdflatex test.tex, where test.tex contains the content below, successfully generates a PDF.
\documentclass[pdf]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>{}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title}
Some math:
\[1+y=2a\]
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Actual behavior
It errors out, I believe the relevant part of the error is:

==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Running updmap -user --enable Map=sansmathaccent to generate a local font map is enough to fix this; maybe fixing the hooks is enough.

Research direction
Start with the provided pdflatex test.tex example and the texlive-fontsextra-2020.57042_1 and texlive-20200406_10 package definitions. Compare the package hooks with the workaround command updmap -user --enable Map=sansmathaccent; done means the Beamer example generates a PDF without the missing mathkerncmssi10 error.
