Yes, applications depend on libfontconfig1 as expected. The problem is that there are other non-application packages, like font collections, which shouldn't depend on the library as they have no interaction with it, but should depend on the fontconfig package as they need to install or change the configuration files. As a result, we have some packages (ttf-bitstream-vera and most other ttf-* packages) which depend on fontconfig, and other packages which depend on libfontconfig1 (every X application). Without shuffling files between packages, I don't see how I can correctly eliminate the circular dependency here. -keith
