Why do you only sometimes do a -x test for xfontpath before calling it? If it's not present but XftXConfig is, this script will crash. I don't know much about xfontpath, but it appears that its presence affects the installation footprint of gimp-freefonts, which isn't right.
I see you have a Depends:xfontpath, but I don't know if fink and dpkg have a deterministic order when installing multiple packages at once. Maybe you should first do a -x test and then crash with a "you must have xfontpath installed before attempting to install gimp-freefonts" message.
This discussion is getting weirder and weirder. I know that the fink dep engine has evolved, but if one cannot any more rely on the fact that dependencies are installed *before* a package gets built and/or installed, then something must be seriously wrong.
You do the same thing in the PostRmScript, but now there's an even weirder dependency/ordering problem: you must have xfontpath installed in order to uninstall gimp-freefonts.
Yes, of course. You want to uninstall gimp-freefonts, you need to have it installed first. If it's installed, xfontpath is installed, too. That's called a dependency.
