Public bug reported:
msttcorefonts postinst script creates broken symlinks in
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType if MS fonts are not
downloaded for some reason, for example use has no internet connection
during installation of msttcorefonts package.
It seems the problem is in msttcorefonts.postinst script - at the
begining of this script there are such code:
# Automatically added by dh_installdefoma
FILE='/etc/defoma/hints/msttcorefonts.hints'
if [ "$1" = configure ]; then
/usr/bin/defoma-font reregister-all $FILE
fi
# End automatically added section
So, fonts, described in msttcorefonts.hints are registered by defoma-
font even if they are not downloaded and not installed :(
Solution would be call "defoma-font reregister-all $FILE" only if MS
fonts are successfully installed into
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/.
Another solution would be to add checking function if MS fonts are
successfully installed into /usr/share/fonts (this function should run
after defoma-font reregister-all $FILE) and if there are no MS fonts in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ then run
/usr/bin/defoma-font purge-all $FILE
