Hello, in my opinion this is a general issue with fonts-roboto-hinted and its use of Conflicts. I don't see a reason why the -hinted and -unhinted fonts should conflict with each other since all files are installed into different directories. Not only FreeOrion is affected but all packages that try to replace embedded fonts with either one of those included in the fonts-roboto packages. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything from the fonts team yet. If they lack the time to fix this bug, I could prepare a NMU myself. I will also look into fonts-roboto-hinted and check if it is a good replacement for the unhinted fonts. But in general I think that the current dependency on fonts-roboto-unhinted is absolutely sensible. Regards, Markus
