End of September? gaarr.. You are tracking a development version. Doing such
thing is bogus.

I doubt that. The only thing ttf-opensymbol postinst does is to call fc-cache
to update the font cache after 1 ttf file got installed by the package.
This is what fails. So it's a fontconfig bug.
There's no sense in depending on fontconfig >= 2.4.1-2 or so because OOo doesn't
need anything from that. It just lets (like any other ttf-*) update the cache.
