fontconfig / defoma segfault
Hello altogether
Today I ran into some strange problem. While reinstalling munin, I got a
segfault, while fontconfig was getting installed. I played around a
little bit, and think I located the root of the problem at defoma. For
example if I run:
apt-get install fontconfig
I get:
E: Unable to load: /var/lib/defoma/scripts/fontconfig.defoma
because:
/var/lib/defoma/scripts/fontconfig.defoma did not return a true
value at (eval 4) line 1.
Updating font configuration of fontconfig...
E: fontconfig was excluded from configuration due to the error
in the header.
E: Please perform the following things.
E: (1) run defoma-app purge fontconfig.
E: (2) upgrade fontconfig and/or defoma.
E: (3) run defoma-app update fontconfig.

I get a similar errror while trying to install psfontmgr, which also
depends on defoma:
apt-get install psfontmgr
Richte psfontmgr ein (0.11.10-0.2) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/psfontmgr.postinst: line 12: 2684

I already tried purging defoma and reinstalling it again. No luck. The
only Idea I still have is trying to install defoma from the backports,
however, I don't like the idea of having to many packages installed
fromt the backports. Besides, it obviously works after a fresh install.
So I would really appreciate your advice on how to erase this issue.
Thanks in advance
