Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: important

hi,

on last upgrade of ttf-opensymbol_1.1.3-9sarge4 the process hanged waiting
for fc-cache to finish.
Running it from cmd line and -vf I see it enters 
/usr/share/fonts/afms/ms
and just sits there forever. Apparently I have old/converted fonts there:

# ls -l /usr/share/fonts/afms/ms
totale 760
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  84005 2001-01-19 04:14 arial.afm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  84074 2001-01-19 04:20 arialbd.afm

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 106555 2001-01-19 04:21 arialbi.pfb
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  65311 2001-01-19 04:15 ariali.afm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 112386 2001-01-19 04:20 ariali.pfb
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 107563 2001-01-19 04:21 arial.pfb
-rw-r--r--  1 root root      0 2006-09-18 21:26 fonts.cache-1

gdb -p ... shows

0xb7e2942b in TT_RunIns ()
   from /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
(gdb)

so this might be a libfreetype issue? anyway, I think the bug is important
as it locks the upgrade and user is left unclued, no warning.
Clearly, fc-cache is expected to know its datatypes and skip/bailout/cry on
anything it can't handle.

thanks
