Package: eterm Version: 0.9.5-2 Severity: minor After cleaning my system (using "aptitude markauto") this weekend, I am encountering the same problem as in bug #112919, but in my case I'm not using a remote X session.
aschur...@neminis:~$ Eterm Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1". Falling back on "k14" Eterm: FATAL: Couldn't load the fallback font either. Giving up. aschur...@neminis:~$ Eterm -M shine Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "shine". Falling back on "k14" Eterm: FATAL: Couldn't load the fallback font either. Giving up. aschur...@neminis:~$ Eterm -M fixed [works] One of the packages removed (by aptitude) was xfonts-base. After reinstalling it and restarting X, Eterm works again. Seems to me that Eterm should have a dependency on the package providing the k14 font (xfonts-base), or at least suggest it; apparently no other package, not even xerver-xorg, seems to depend on it or recommend it: aschur...@neminis:~$ aptitude -F '%c%a%M%S %p' search ~i |grep -i font i A fontconfig i A fontconfig-config i A gsfonts i A gsfonts-x11 i A libfont-freetype-perl i A libfontconfig1 i A libfontenc1 i A libxfont1 i A psfontmgr i A ttf-bengali-fonts i A ttf-devanagari-fonts i A ttf-freefont i A ttf-gujarati-fonts i A ttf-indic-fonts i A ttf-kannada-fonts i A ttf-malayalam-fonts i A ttf-oriya-fonts i A ttf-punjabi-fonts i A ttf-tamil-fonts i A ttf-telugu-fonts i A ttf-unfonts-core i A x-ttcidfont-conf i xfonts-base i A xfonts-encodings i A xfonts-mathml i A xfonts-utils -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (550, 'stable'), (101, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-rc2 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages eterm depends on: ii libast2 0.7-3 the Library of Assorted Spiffy Thi ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libimlib2 1.4.2-5 powerful image loading and renderi ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library eterm recommends no packages. eterm suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (550, 'stable'), (101, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-rc2 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages eterm depends on: ii libast2 0.7-3 the Library of Assorted Spiffy Thi ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libimlib2 1.4.2-5 powerful image loading and renderi ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library eterm recommends no packages. eterm suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
