Bug#895868: closed by Lars Kruse (Re: munin-cron: Fontconfig error: failed reading config file)

This is probably https://bugs.debian.org/853848https://bugs.debian.org/853848, 
fixed by upgrading/removing:
  fonts-beng-extra
  fonts-deva-extra
  fonts-gujr-extra
  fonts-guru-extra
  fonts-orya-extra, fixed by upgrading/removing:  

Debian bug 853848 was fixed a year ago, so upgrading won't help this issue.

I purged those pkgs, and the problem remained. The pkg removal resulted 
in various leftovers (with errors), despite --purge:

        /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-0-fonts-guru-extra.conf
        /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-0-fonts-orya-extra.conf
        /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-0-fonts-deva-extra.conf
        /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-0-fonts-gujr-extra.conf
        /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-0-fonts-beng-extra.conf

        /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-guru-extra/
        /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-orya-extra/
        /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-deva-extra/
        /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-gujr-extra/
        /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-beng-extra/

removing the above manually has finally sorted the problem for me.


thanks very much.

cheers,
