Bug#432510: ttf-opensymbol fails to update with old version of fontconfig
Package: ttf-opensymbol
Version: 2.2.1-5
Severity: normal
After the update of ttf-opensymbol 2.0.3-2 -> 2.2.1-4 the postrm script
failed and the resulting non-configured package
brought all depending updates (ooffice) to a standstill.
Removing or purging ttf-opensystem failed for the same reason.
The error message was something about "error scanning /usr/share/fonts ...".
The deadlock could be left with updating fontconfig
[AKTUALISIERUNG] fontconfig 2.3.2-7 -> 2.4.2-1.2
[AKTUALISIERUNG] fontconfig-config 2.4.1-2 -> 2.4.2-1.2
[AKTUALISIERUNG] libfontconfig1 2.4.1-2 -> 2.4.2-1.2
so I assume a conflict with fontconfig <= 2.3.2 might solve the problem.
Thanks
Guenter
