Package: xfonts-scalable
Version: 1:1.0.0-6
Severity: normal
This bug looks similar to #300990.
When I install xfonts-scalable without a terminal in a script I think inside
debian/xsfbs/xsfbs.sh when it calls message() reject_nondigits() could do more
by checking that columns are within a certain range acceptable to `fmt`.
For some reason or another I get:
Setting up xfonts-scalable (1:1.0.0-6) ...
fmt: invalid width: `63469'
fmt: invalid width: `63469'
fmt: invalid width: `63469'
Unreasonably large values for columns, which can change:
au:/srv/web/build.webconverger.com/logs% grep "invalid width" *.txt | uniq
2008-08-03.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `64243'

2008-08-06.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63461'
2008-08-06.sid.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63465'

2008-09-07.lenny.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63474'
2008-09-07.sid.txt:fmt: invalid width: `63469'

The new version doesn't include this code in its maintainer scripts,
closing.
