Hi all,
I just noticed that a lot of install scripts (in my case nearly all font
packagescalling fc-cache) touch the users home dir in some way. So please
don't use fc-cache without the -s parameter.
In my case the home dir was mounted via AFS including thousands of
accounts. And root does not even have permission to read or write the
user's dir. So while un/installing ttf-bitsream-vera the whole systems
hangs and fc-cache somehow produces a soft-lockup. :-)
Can you create a bug list all relevant packages that need fixed?
Otherwise I see this being forgotten about quickly...
