Subject: xfonts-encodings: Absolute_path patch makes it out of work Package: xfonts-encodings Version: 1:1.0.0-2 Severity: important
Hi David, Recently, several bug reports have been composed for the problem of incorrect encodings file locating function, including 362722, 366097 and 366098. The bug that X11 encoding cannot find encodings file is, originally, due to the incorrect encoding-path in rules file of package libfontenc1. Fortunately, the wrong encoding path has been fixed in the latest version of package libfontenc1, say, 1.0.1-6. But the upgrade of package xfonts-encodings results in a simliar bug again. It seems that the absolute_path patch may not work, since it makes X11 applications cannot find a proper encodings file even when libfontenc1 does provide a right encoding-path. I have to downgrade xfonts-encodings from 1.0.0-3 to 1.0.0-2 to solve this problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xfonts-encodings depends on: ii x11-common 1:7.0.18 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc xfonts-encodings recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Hongzheng Wang
