Public bug reported: Per the following bug http://bugs.debian.org/636173 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819097
fontconfig's postinst likes to delete empty directories in /usr/share/fonts. Unfortunately, msttcorefonts packages an empty directory, /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts, and depends on its existence in its own postinst. Therefore, if you install these two packages in the same install run, msttcorefonts' postinst fails. I've attached a debdiff to create this directory in the postinst instead of packaging it in debian/dirs. This is a re-filing of my comment at the bottom of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670629 I can't seem to reopen a "Fix released" bug, and it seemed better to open a new bug anyway. See that bug for some more context. ** Affects: msttcorefonts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819106 Title: msttcorefonts fails to install because of bad fontconfig interaction To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/819106/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
