Public bug reported: Binary package hint: fontconfig
After I upgraded ttf-opensymbols in edgy (edgy-updates I think). Fontconfig produced weird errors: Setting up ttf-opensymbol (2.0.4-0ubuntu4) ... Updating fontconfig cache... "/usr/share/fonts": error scanning "/usr/share/X11/fonts": error scanning "/usr/local/share/fonts": error scanning "/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d": error scanning dpkg: error processing ttf-opensymbol (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 4 Google helped a bit: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org/msg12719.html (I did not find a ubuntu specific bugreport.)
