Please unblock package fonts-liberation It is the same package as 1.07.2-5 (already in testing), but with the spurious "Provides: ttf-liberation" field removed from fonts-liberation in debian/control. The rationale is that some packages need the liberation fonts and have the paths to the font files hard-coded. Since the move to the new font package naming scheme, the path of the font files have changed from ttf- liberation to fonts-liberation, so packages expecting ttf-liberation are *not* satisfied when fonts-liberation is installed - thus fonts-liberation does not Provides: ttf-liberation. Related bug: #689575. Please find the debdiff between fonts-liberation_1.07.2-5 and 1.07.2-6 attached. unblock fonts-liberation/1.07.2-6 -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (901, 'testing'), (502, 'unstable'), (501, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core)
