It's unfortunate that grace6 is so fragile in face of broken symlinks, but the root bug here is that you previously had some package installed that incorrectly registered bhcb.pfa with defoma but no longer has the file. There are no Debian packages at all that include AbiSuite/fonts, so this must come from an obsolete or third-party package. You will have to manually unregister this font from defoma using the defoma-font tool. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
