Uh. A upgrade from *2.0.3-2*? What? Etch does contain 2.0.4.
If you upgrade from sarge+bpo (which would contain
2.0.3-6~bpo.4, so even something newer than you have),
skipping releases are not supported. Upgrade to etch and then to sid if
you want.

In any case, I don't think we should add the conflicts. IMHO it's a
fontconfig bug that fc-cache fails and they should fix this.
ttf-opensymbol (just as any other font package) just runs fc-cache.

Again, from which interesting system are you upgrading?

fontconfig |    2.3.1-2 |     oldstable | source, alpha, arm, hppa,
i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
fontconfig |  2.4.2-1.2 |     etch-m68k | source, m68k
fontconfig |  2.4.2-1.2 |        stable | source, alpha, amd64, arm,
hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
fontconfig |  2.4.2-1.2 |      unstable | source, alpha, amd64, arm,
hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

And would make a sarge backport (which is being worked on) not possible
without removing this dependency again.
