Package: python3-kivy Version: 2.1.0-1+b1 Severity: normal Tags: d-i patch upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Dear Maintainer, When installing on Arm Chromebook a dangling symlink to Roboto fonts is left. /usr/lib/dist-packags/kivy/data/fonts/Roboto-Regular. Overwriting this symlink with a link to /usr/share/fonts/chromeos/roboto/Roboto_Regular (also for Bold,BoldItalic,Italic and RobotoMono-Regular) fixed this for me.

Hello, thanks for the report. python3-kivy has a dependency on "fonts-roboto" which depends on "fonts-roboto-unhinted" which contains the linked file. Your system information shows fonts-roboto as installed. However, you say you are installing on an Arm Chromebook, but your system information says "Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)" so I'm not sure how you generated this bug report. Is fonts-roboto (and fonts-roboto-unhinted) installed on the affected system? So far as I can tell from the Debian package search [1], there are no packages installing roboto fonts to /usr/share/fonts/chromeos. Are you installing Debian in some strange way or using some downstream distribution on this system?
