Bug#362922: xfonts-base: font-pathes change without notice
Package: xfonts-base
Version: 1:1.0.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
the pathes where the fonst are stored chanbed from yetserday to today
without notice!!! my x did not start up anymore
instead of the former /usr/libX11/fonts/ the fonts are now at /usr/share/fonts/X11/ -- but my xorg.conf does not know about that i was in no way informed about suxch a crucial change.
instead x failed because it could not find 'fixed'.
it's not the only bad documented change in xorg 7 at the expense of
those configuring their system by hand instead of using insufficient
tools of debian.
