Right, not a bug in xfig then; reassigning to gsfonts-x11 and merging with the other report there. gsfonts-x11 is terribly broken in its postrm handling, by failing to clean up the directory that it used to install its font files to. The new gsfonts-x11 package will now need to retroactively clean up this brokenness on upgrade. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
