Hi,
not sure if this is a bug or a transition issue around xorg 7.0.
I just upgraded a pure-etch system and got these warnings:

  Setting up xfonts-base (1.0.0-4) ...
  warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is not a directory
  warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is not a directory

/usr/lib/X11/fonts exists, but it s a symlink to
  ../../X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, ie /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

This directory exists, but contains only one directory:
  ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
  drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-09-25 22:13 encodings

  tree -d /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
  `-- encodings
      `-- large


The symlink /usr/lib/X11/fonts belongs to the x11-common package.

Should xfonts-base now be looking in /etc/X11/fonts?
  tree -d /etc/X11/fonts
  /etc/X11/fonts
  |-- 100dpi
  |-- 75dpi
  |-- Type1
  |-- X11R7
  |   |-- 100dpi
  |   |-- 75dpi
  |   |-- Type1
  |   `-- misc
  `-- misc

Hope this is helpful. I could not see a relevant bug already but feel
free to close or merge if I missed it.

Cheers
Vince

This is just a warning caused by the upgrade to X11R7 font paths without
dropping support for X11R6 font paths. Harmless. Closing.
