Have you installed the xutils package, which contains /usr/sbin/update-fonts-scale? The dependencies of these packages are bogus; they should be 'xutils (>= 4.0.2)' rather than 'xutils | xbase-clients (>= 3.3.6-4)'. If apt-get won't install xutils for you due to the other broken packages, you'll have to download it manually and install it with something like 'dpkg -i xutils_4.0.2-1_i386.deb'. I'll tag a note onto one of your bug reports explaining the problem. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
