Bug#271499: xfonts-base-transcoded: fontconfig error "Cannot load default config file" during configuration

[Wolfgang Jeltsch <wolfgang@jeltsch.net>]

Package: xfonts-base-transcoded
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal

I installed x-window-system-core and all the xfonts-*-transcoded
packages via one single apt-get install command.  During the configuration
of the xfonts-*-transcoded packages (I'm not really sure if it were exactly
these packages.), I got the following error message:

    Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file

Obviously, fontconfig wasn't configured yet.
