Package: fontconfig Version: 2.3.2-7 Followup-For: Bug #388416
Currently being bit by this bug in etch. It occurred while I was trying to do an upgrade. It happened while trying to install ttf-opensymbol: # apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 61 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used. Setting up ttf-opensymbol (2.0.4~rc3-1) ... Updating fontconfig cache... "/usr/share/fonts": error scanning "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts": error scanning "/usr/local/share/fonts": error scanning "/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d": error scanning dpkg: error processing ttf-opensymbol (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 4 Errors were encountered while processing: ttf-opensymbol E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) # Right now I'm not able to use apt-get at all, on any package, since any attempt to do so tries to finish the install of ttf-opensymbol, which runs into the bug and dies. I know, for instance, that I'm a version out-of-date on fontconfig itself; but I can't install the most current since apt first tries to finish the install of ttf-opensymbol, then chokes. This is really frustrating.
