Salutations, I must say this bug is not the sort of thing you get an error message for. Basically what happens is if you perform an upgrade to Debian which upgrades the font server, the font server is stopped by the preinst script, then the new files are extracted, but then it appears that the server is not restarted by the postinst script.
To show what the end result of this is, let's say you run a dist-upgrade then try to restart X later. If, like me, you use the font server as your font path to avoid having to manually configure font directories, you will find that X cannot start the next time because the font server is not running. Since normally one is not used to package upgrades having such cryptic side effects, I filed this bug after I noticed the problem persisted through about 2-3 font server upgrade cycles that occurred back at that time.

Hi, About a year ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding xfs failing to restart. But you didn't post any error message or anything else to help us to debug. Did you reproduce this problem recently? If not, I will close this bug in the next weeks. Thanks, Brice
