Exactly. On first setup and all subsequent updates this post-installation error
recurs.
The cure described depends on the presence of several files including one that
the script creates if necessary.
PS Before I enlisted help to cure this glitch "properly", I found it and its
recurrence sufficiently intrusive to become an annoyance.
Since nothing was obviously broken I guessed that nothing further would be
broken by artificially achieving the post-installation
sequence as follows:
$ mv /etc/postinstall/fontconfig_dtd.sh /etc/postinstall/fontconfig_dtd.sh.done
And so it transpired: nothing awful seemed to happen, or fail to happen, as a
consequence of this "fix"; and the error msg stopped.
