Package: xfonts-scalable
Version: 1:1.0.0-5
Severity: serious
Rationale: policy violation paragraph 11.8.5 (13), renders gsfonts-x11 unusable
Tags: patch

1:1.0.0-4 contained fonts.dir as a file in the package.  This file is
removed in 1:1.0.0-5, which results in removal of fonts.dir.  But
after all this the postinst (and also postrm) should run
update-fonts-scale, update-fonts-alias and update-fonts-dir, but it
only runs update-fonts-scale and update-fonts-alias.

This is defined in policy 11.8.5:

     11.  Font packages that provide one or more `fonts.scale' files as
          described above must invoke `update-fonts-scale' on each
          directory into which they installed fonts _before_ invoking
          `update-fonts-dir' on that directory.  This invocation must occur
          in both the `postinst' (for all arguments) and `postrm' (for all
          arguments except `upgrade') scripts.

     12.  Font packages that provide one or more `fonts.alias' files as
          described above must invoke `update-fonts-alias' on each
          directory into which they installed fonts.  This invocation must
          occur in both the `postinst' (for all arguments) and `postrm'
          (for all arguments except `upgrade') scripts.

     13.  Font packages must invoke `update-fonts-dir' on each directory
          into which they installed fonts.  This invocation must occur in
          both the `postinst' (for all arguments) and `postrm' (for all
          arguments except `upgrade') scripts.

(see especially paragraph 13.).

If fonts.dir is missing, this results in the X server ignoring this
directory:

(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1".
        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1").

As a workaround 
 update-fonts-dir Type1
And manually adding /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 to the font path (or
restarting the X server) should help.

I tagged this bug severity "serious" because the behavior of this
package violates the above mentioned policy and implies that other
packages with Type1 fonts (like gsfonts-x11) are unusable, which as a
result leads to programs like xfig being unusable because they need
the unusable fonts.

I attached a small patch, which solves this problem.  Please let me
know, if you want me to NMU the modified package.
