Package: xfonts-scalable Version: 4.2.1-11 Severity: important Justification: fails to install
This is almost certainly the same problem as reported in 143476 and 16457 for this package and 117225 for xbase-clients on xftcache. However, since the line number of the failure is a bit different, and since the error is erratic, I'm making this report. On apt-get dist-upgrade on my testing/unstable system I got Setting up xfonts-scalable (4.2.1-11) ... Running update-fonts-scale in Speedo font directory...done.
