Package: culmus
Version: 0.101-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi Baruch,

I upgraded to fontconfig 2.3.1-1 and saw it overwrites the previous conf. I 
guessed that culmus add stuff to /etc/fonts/local.conf and decided to reinstall 
the package.

Fontconfig new version had a change: usage of /etc/fonts/conf.d instead of 
/etc/fonts/local.conf. Thus make culmus uninstallable send the installtions 
scrpits fail and leave the package in Failconfig status.

It seems that the sulution shold be very easy.

Some log from my machine:
