Hi LaMont, I'm not convinced that this is actually a bug in defoma; the trouble is that the failure happens in the fontconfig *pre*rm script, and fontconfig depends on defoma -- so how is it possible that defoma's files have been removed before the "prerm remove" call for a package depending on it, unless there is a bug in dpkg?
FWIW, I can't seem to reproduce this error in unstable; no matter what combination of options I offer to apt-get or aptitude, fontconfig is always removed/purged prior to defoma. However, I can easily reproduce a lovely (non-fatal) error caused by a circular dependency between fontconfig and libfontconfig1... Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
