Source: fim
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The next release of libfreetype6-dev will *not* ship
`freetype-config', as the script has now been deprecated in favour of
`pkg-config'.
This is an upstream change:
"Use of the `freetype-config' script to get compilation and
linking options is deprecated since it doesn't support
cross-compiling, among other deficiencies. Instead, you should
use the `pkg-config' interface." [1]
Please use `pkg-config' to detect the FreeType 2 headers and
libraries in fim.
If this bug is not resolved prior to the release of FreeType 2.9.1,
your package may FTBFS.
Thank you

Hi everybody.
Thanks for reporting and helping out.
Let me tell you that freetype-config is not being used by fim;
it only appears, in commented form, in the configure.ac.
So this shall not considered a bug --- so therefore I close it.
Cheers,
Michele
