Bug#213501: xfonts-scalable: xftcache segfault in postinst
Package: xfonts-scalable
Version: 4.2.1-11
Severity: important
Justification: fails to install
This is almost certainly the same problem as reported in 143476 and
16457 for this package and 117225 for xbase-clients on xftcache.
However, since the line number of the failure is a bit different, and
since the error is erratic, I'm making this report.
On apt-get dist-upgrade on my testing/unstable system I got
Setting up xfonts-scalable (4.2.1-11) ...
Running update-fonts-scale in Speedo font directory...done.
Running update-fonts-dir in Speedo font directory...done.
