This error appeared during the lenny system install (business card installer). I left it unresolved and migrated up to sid (where I usually live) and it is still unresolved. I have tried manually purging both packages and reinstalling. If I install ttf-opensymbol first, it will install, but fontconfig will fail. If I install it the other way around, fontconfig fails too. I have attached here the fontconfig.log in case that helps. This is an up-to-date sid system. A
