Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: important

Installing plone (evaluating CMSs).

aptitude install plone

has brought in as a dependency fontconfig plus other font packages

fc-cache is hanging (top shows 99% plus CPU - time is > 1hr).

I've run the following:

FC_DEBUG=128 fc-cache -f

It gives as output:

Then it just hangs there.

Note that /etc/font shows only .dpkg-new files since fontconfig is not
yet successfully installed.

It could of course be a problem with the b018012l.pfb file - but I know
_zero_ about font handling in debian - any tests I can run - just let me
know :)
