Package: fontconfig Version: 2.14.1-3 The cache version has been bumped from 7 to 8 in fontconfig 2.14[1]. If fontconfig is upgraded before libfontconfig1, fc-cache in the postinst will still use cache version 7, and a subsequent upgrade of libfontconfig1 renders the global cache in /var/cache/fontconfig useless until fontconfig is reinstalled.
It seems to me that a stricter dependency of fontconfig on libfontconfig1 seems to be desirable to avoid such a situation. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/Sid's APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.163-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages fontconfig depends on: ii fontconfig-config 2.14.1-3 ii libc6 2.36-8 ii libfontconfig1 2.14.1-3 ii libfreetype6 2.12.1+dfsg-4 fontconfig recommends no packages. fontconfig suggests no packages. -- no debconf information 1. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/5d84745e7209d4c612302652723f92addfbb3364
