Your package ships a defoma hint file or depends on or uses defoma or x-ttcidfont-conf. defoma is in the process of being removed from Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/OldPkgRemovals#defoma If you have any questions about this transition, please contact the Debian Fonts Task Force on our mailing list. We are also interested in new people if you want to help us maintain, check and discuss fonts. pkg-fonts-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-fonts-devel http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/ http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts To help us complete the transition from defoma to fontconfig, please remove any use of defoma or x-ttcidfont-conf from your package. Here are some things that you might want to check in your package: If installing your package causes defoma to modify the defoma configuration file for fontconfig (/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-defoma.conf), then you need to migrate those changes to a file in the fontconfig directory /etc/fonts/conf.avail with a symlink in /etc/fonts/conf.d. In some cases the config produced by defoma was not appropriate in the first place and should be dropped. Remove any mentions of defoma, defoma-doc, psfontmgr or x-ttcidfont-conf from your debian/control file. If you are running dh_installdefoma in your debian/rules file, simply remove that call. If you were shipping a defoma hint file and processing the hints file using defoma in your maintainer scripts (postrm, postinst etc, dh_installdefoma usually handles them) then on upgrade from a version before the one that dropped you need to `defoma-font purge-all /etc/defoma/hints/$PACKAGE.hints`, but only if the defoma-font binary is available and executable. If you are shipping a defoma hint file, then you will need to remove it on upgrade. You can do so by adding this snippet to your postinst, postrm and preinst maintainer scripts. You should replace $PACKAGE with the name of the package and $VERSION with the version where you are making the defoma hint conffile obsolete and removable: if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports rm_conffile 2>/dev/null; then dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/defoma/hints/$PACKAGE.hints $VERSION -- "$@" fi -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
