Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.1.2
Quoting policy 9.1.2:
Since `/usr/local' can be mounted read-only from a remote server,
these directories must be created and removed by the `postinst' and
`prerm' maintainer scripts and not be included in the `.deb' archive.
These scripts must not fail if either of these operations fail.
However fontconfig's postinst script tries to remove files from
/usr/local/share/fonts without checking for errors.
I am not even sure that removing these files is allowed at all.

As it is done in a "find" loop, errors are simply ignored. The only
result is a bunch of nasty warnings but installation succeeds.

As they were generated by fontconfig, I think it is.
I'm sorry for the dunc-bank, but I have to close this bug.
