[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#518258: more on the dangling symlinks problem

[aty@mintaka.sdsu.edu (Andrew T. Young)]

This is essentially the same problem described in bug #452127 -- which
also cites bugs 419052, 437674, and 440142.  The last two are the most
informative.

Although 440142 claims the problem was fixed with a corrected file
"ttf-dejavu-extra.defoma-hints" in the ttf-dejavu-extra package, it
appears that there is currently *no* defoma hintfile in any of the
ttf-dejavu* packages.  This may be what's needed to get the links
installed correctly.
