Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.6.0-4
Severity: important

Hi,

A dpkg run on a buildd host showed the following:

Removing fontconfig ...
dpkg: error processing fontconfig (--purge):
 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

After an 'apt-get -f install' run, I could run dpkg --purge fontconfig,
and then purge the other newly installed packages.

A prerm script called at purge time cannot readily assume that
dependencies are available, so should not error out if they happen to be
not there.
