Package: xfonts-utils,xfonts-encodings,debhelper Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed the xfonts-tipa packages removes /usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings/encodings.dir which is owned by xfonts-encodings. xfonts-tipa maintainer scripts are entirely debhelper generated, so the xfonts-tipa package is not doing something wrong, this is part of the postinst: # Automatically added by dh_installxfonts if which update-fonts-dir >/dev/null 2>&1; then update-fonts-dir --x11r7-layout encodings;update-fonts-scale Type1;update-fonts-dir --x11r7-layout Type1 fi # End automatically added section Thereafter: debsums: missing file /usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings/encodings.dir (from xfonts-encodings package) Is it correct that encodings.dir is shipped by xfonts-encodings? Shouldn't that be generated by maintainer scripts? Otherwise the update-fonts-dir --x11r7-layout encodings will always modify shipped files. Why does the encodings.dir file get deleted at all? That directory is not empty ... I'm assigning this bug to three packages that could possibly be at fault: * xfonts-utils - update-fonts-dir deletes encodings.dir, but dir is not empty * xfonts-encodings - ships encodings.dir * debhelper - could have generated a wrong call Please analyze and reassign. piuparts log from xfonts-tipa is attached.
