Bug#193175: missing alias file /etc/X11/fonts/misc

["Pedram Azad" <Pedram.Azad@gmx.de>]

Package: xfonts-base
Version: 4.1.0-16

I don't get any errors during installation. When trying to run startx
finally I get the following (popular) fatal error:

could not open default font 'fixed'

I figured out that there really is no alias for the font "fixed". In
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc there is no fonts.alias file but a
fonts.alias.update-new file whose only contents are:

!! fonts.alias -- automatically generated file.  DO NOT EDIT.
!! To modify, see update-fonts-alias(8).

I then figured out that there is no alias file in /etc/X11/fonts/misc which
should be the reason for update-fonts-alias failing.

Regards.
