(Reading database ...197647 files and directories currently installed.) Removing x-ttcidfont-conf ... Purging font configuration of x-ttcidfont-conf... Purging category cmap.. Purging category cid.. Purging category truetype.. # exit $ gnucash Works fine here. Probably the x-ttcidfont-conf dep should just be dropped, then?
