Package: grace6
Version: 5.99.1+dev4-5
Followup-For: Bug #410766
This bug "Broken or incomplete installation - read the FAQ!" still
exists in grace6. As Meik asked, why the hell is grace6 screwing
around with fonts and symlinks to fonts this way? No other
application has this kind of trouble with fonts.
linux-libertine has already been identified as a subject of the broken
font symlinks. xfonts-cyrillic and t1-cyrillic is mistreated the same
way, though they clear out OK after reinstalling them.
Even after purging linux-libertine and running defoma-reconfigure,
references to the libertine fonts still appear in the /lib/var/defoma
caches.
I ran this script to clear out other references:
for family in linux-libertine;
do
for f in `grep $family /var/lib/defoma/type1.font-cache |
grep pfb | awk '{print $1}'`;
do
defoma-font unregister type1 $f;
done
done
After this (clearing out type1 pfb font files), grace6 worked.
Furthermore I could then install linux-libertine back again and
reinstall grace6, and it continued working.
The trouble seems to be old ghost defoma references in
linux-libertine. t1-cyrillic is a bit different however. After
purging it no longer gives problems the way linux-libertine continued
to give problems. It only creates grace6 grief when installed. This
suggests there is something wrong with the current t1-cyrillic
packaging (v4.11). Might be worth mentioning here that after
unregistering linux-libertine, as above, and reinstalling it, there
are no longer any linux-libertine references in
/var/lib/defoma/type1.font-cache (even after reinstalling the font
package). I didn't try running the unregister script against cyrillic.
