Thank you for the report. Unusually, I cannot find '/var/lib/texmf/web2c/metafont/mf.log' with urpmf, that is, what package it comes from. Assigning this to Marc who is the main maintainer for texlive; please re-assign it if you wish.

and what harm does this (really) do?
have you set up another umask for your root user? I get this file here: ll /var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex/tex.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2473 Jul 24 09:15 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex/tex.log since this is a trivial copy operation, the umask of the user running this command is used.
If these logs have no practical use, may you add to the trigger a cleanup: find /var/lib/texmf/web2c -name '*.log' -exec rm -f {} \; This way even when the 54 log files are generated on update they don't pollute the filetree with useless log and/or world writable file. I don't follow your point on user's umask. My user umask is 0002 and sudo/root one 0022, thus if the triggers was following the user umask it would not create a world writable file...
in my case they are not created world writeable. They are generated and then copied to the target location by the tex script. Since they are created everytime some of the tex update scripts run, this is not in "installation" issue. It is more or less a texlive issue.
Ok, I retried by passing root just to be sure with: su - Same result world writeable file. To help reproduce, I placed the package list, modified files states and copy of modified /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg file there: https://rapsys.eu/mageia/texlive/ (This way I may remove them when the bug is fixed) Do you need anything else to reproduce ?
It looks like the bug happen when this package is not installed: texinfo-tex-7.0.3-1.mga9.x86_64 With texinfo-tex installed, no world-writeable log file, without this log is world-writeable: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/metafont/mf.log Maybe you may add it as required for the update trigger to fix the problem ?
