Bug#895868: munin-cron: Fontconfig error: failed reading config file
Source: munin Followup-For: Bug #895868 Hello, I took a look at the bugs reported for fontconfig [1]. I did not find a description of this problem. Maybe someone could report it there? Since munin is likely only affected indirectly by this problem, we should probably solve it in fontconfig, instead of here. Or is this only a local customization / configuration issue? Cheers, Lars [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=fontconfig;dist=unstable
Bug#895868: munin-cron: Fontconfig error: failed reading config file
The error appears to be coming from fontconfig as other programs are giving this error. In the folder /etc/fonts/conf.d there are symbolic links to directories in /etc/fonts/conf.avail which is causing fontconfig to throw an error for each directory. Removing these directory symbolic links solve the problem for me.
