Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: fontconfig
I upgraded from edgy to feisty. fontconfig
(fontconfig2.4.2-1ubuntu1_i386) complains about a missing config file :
output of fc-cache
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
fc-cache: symbol lookup error: fc-cache: undefined symbol: FcDirCacheLoad
I did run a strace on it and it pointed to a odd user directory
access("/home/torri/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
write(2, "Fontconfig error: ", 18Fontconfig error: ) = 18
write(2, "Cannot load default config file", 31Cannot load default config file)
= 31
On my system is no user named torri.
the ugly hack
mkdir -p /home/torri/local/etc/fonts/
ln -s /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /home/torri/local/etc/fonts/
removed the missing config line but introduced a new complain
Fontconfig warning: line 32: unknown element "cachedir"
Fontconfig warning: line 33: unknown element "cachedir"
fc-cache: symbol lookup error: fc-cache: undefined symbol: FcDirCacheLoad
** Affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu)
