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: laptop:~# apt-get --reinstall install culmus Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
