Bug#402014: defoma, fontconfig: integration is broken, brokes updates of font packages
tags 402014 etch-ignore thanks I'm going to go out on a limb here and tag this bug as non-RC for etch. The only case where this has been a concrete problem so far was for a particular font package which had a broken version uploaded into the archive, where upgrading that package didn't fix the cache. In the common case, I don't think we have to worry about broken fonts in stable in the first place, so clearing out caches from them needn't be release-critical either. It would be nice to have these packages all playing together well for lenny -- and even for etch, if things come together in time -- but the status quo doesn't seem to be all that bad. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

We're nearly finished with an updated defoma/fontconfig script that will fix this bug though, so I hope to upload a new fontconfig version sometime this week. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Bug#402014: defoma, fontconfig: integration is broken, brokes updates of font packages
Package: defoma, fontconfig Severity: serious Currently upgrades of font packages with truetype fonts that use defoma are broken, as can be seen from comments to bugs #401411 and #401615. One needs to run 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' or fc-cache -f after upgrade. Until this is done, there maybe some bugs visible. This is probably caused by fontconfig generating caches for both directory with symlinks in /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d and with real files in /usr/share/fonts . Then after font package upgrade, only directory under /var/... is scanned (if scanned at all). Severity is set to 'serious' because of broken packages after upgrades. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.19-me Locale: LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=uk_UA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
