tag 899142 + patch thanks Hi,
attached find the patch to activate the fontconfig trigger. Explenation (as far as I understand it): normally, fc trigger would be activated automatically because font packages usually install font files. fonts-powerline however doesn't install any fonts into e.g. /usr/share/fonts, so the trigger doesn't get automatically called. Therefore, instead 'fakeing' an installation of something to /usr/share/fonts by having a manual 'activate /usr/share/fonts' trigger. I tested it, seems to work. Alternatively, one could also call 'fc-cache -sf' in postinst, but that slows things down unecessarily. Regards, Daniel
