Package: fontconfig-config Version: 2.9.0-7 Severity: serious Justification: debconf is not a registry
Hi, given I like the Fixed font, I got rid of the following file a while ago: /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf Restarting my X session today, no more Fixed! And indeed, that file is back. /etc/fonts/conf.d/README pretends: ,--- | Each file in this directory is a fontconfig configuration file. Fontconfig | scans this directory, loading all files of the form [0-9][0-9]*.conf. | These files are normally installed in ../conf.avail and then symlinked here, | allowing them to be easily installed and then enabled/disabled by adjusting | the symlinks. `--- But that's simply not true! kibi@kathleen:/etc/fonts/conf.d$ ls -l 70-no-bitmaps.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Aug 14 21:11 70-no-bitmaps.conf -> ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf kibi@kathleen:/etc/fonts/conf.d$ sudo dpkg -i fontconfig-config_2.9.0-7_all.deb (Reading database ... 168698 files and directories currently installed.)

Debconf is not a registry, please don't lose administrator's changes.
