Package: xfonts-scalable
Version: 1:1.0.0-6
Severity: normal

This bug looks similar to #300990.

When I install xfonts-scalable without a terminal in a script I think inside
debian/xsfbs/xsfbs.sh when it calls message() reject_nondigits() could do more
by checking that columns are within a certain range acceptable to `fmt`.

For some reason or another I get:

Setting up xfonts-scalable (1:1.0.0-6) ...
fmt: invalid width: `63469'
fmt: invalid width: `63469'
fmt: invalid width: `63469'

Unreasonably large values for columns, which can change:

au:/srv/web/build.webconverger.com/logs% grep "invalid width" *.txt | uniq
2008-08-03.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `64243'
2008-08-04.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `61759'
2008-08-05.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63460'
2008-08-06.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63461'
2008-08-06.sid.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63465'
2008-08-07.sid.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63470'
2008-09-07.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63474'
2008-09-07.sid.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63469'

Kind regards,

The new version doesn't include this code in its maintainer scripts,
closing.
