Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.11.0-6.3
Followup-For: Bug #776801
Hi,
Also affected by this bug. It was a bit hard to debug, as it is not
immediatly obvious that the 70-no-bitmaps.conf link is broken if you
look too quickly, not counting finding the right place to look at first.
This bug could have been prevented if #758973 had not introduced a
strange hack for what is to me *not* a problem: it is very strange that
now the configuration of the package is not idempotent. For me,
re-creating the config from the debconf questions should be harmless,
and thus activatable whenever the configuration is asked on postinst: in
our case, on upgrade. For me, the patch from this bug that made it to
version 2.11.0-6.3 should be reverted.
Or maybe, the attached crude hack applied, but it really looks ugly.
Thanks,
benjamin
