| Installing the grace package makes no difference, the bug is still

So, do you have any ideas on where to look?   For example,

  $ strace -f grace6

tells me that grace6 tries to read

   /usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1/bchb.pfa

which is a symlink 

  $ ls -l /usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1/bchb.pfa
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 12 17:42 /usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1/bchb.pfa 
-> /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/bchb.pfa

but its target doesn't exist:

  $ ls /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/bchb.pfa
  ls: /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/bchb.pfa: No such file or directory
  $

So, the grace6 package creates a wrong symlink . The attached
session proves that.  Is this a bug in the grace6 package?
or somebody else's?

Regards,
Ryo
