Package: fontconfig Version: 2.13.1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? apt upgrade. Regenerating fonts breaks other configurations like libreoffice etc. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Following this ARCH thread (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59889) they recommended running fc-cache with "sudo SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(date +%s)" which as explained from the fontconfig documentation "SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is used to ensure fc-cache(1) generates files in a deterministic manner in order to support reproducible builds. When set to a numeric representation of UNIX timestamp, fontconfig will prefer this value over using the modification timestamps of the input files in order to identify which cache files require regeneration." * What was the outcome of this action? Patching /var/lib/dpkg/fontconfig.postinst with that command worked * What outcome did you expect instead? fc-cache: failed -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fontconfig depends on: ii fontconfig-config 2.13.1-1 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-1 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-2 fontconfig recommends no packages. fontconfig suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed
