Bug Description

Binary package hint: fontconfig

On a "since feisty" install we found:

 /etc/fonts/conf.avail/README 296384642206e0c9952d5c73a5451eec obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.d/autohint.conf 15f6f27052c7802a9d14db8a63196a0f obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.d/no-bitmaps.conf 59a1d307bf9fe97425244591947c6eb5 obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.d/no-sub-pixel.conf 8ff2bbcf0cc3ffa203596d866351f0dc obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.d/sub-pixel.conf af0d01d93d42eaeb559dabd04960ea03 obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.d/unhinted.conf 4070b0651a9e3e0d26a77d6cc6f7e575 obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.d/yes-bitmaps.conf c874fb654a8039963369c44ea98410d5 obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.avail/40-generic.conf 0909567040f50beac614384e1de765ec obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.avail/30-amt-aliases.conf 8497745f88086600d48f4ba23e3e3dd4 obsolete
 /etc/fonts/conf.avail/20-lohit-gujarati.conf 4eb1277bdd67092e6399de1c326aad3f obsolete

these should be properly cleaned up.

importance high as those obsolete files can lead to unpredictable results. An update should use the fontconfig package in mozillateam ppa and add appropriate maintainner script code for these files.

This bug was fixed in the package fontconfig - 2.6.0-1ubuntu8

---------------
fontconfig (2.6.0-1ubuntu8) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/fontconfig-config.postinst: cleanup old conf.d links transition;
    we remove autohint.conf,no-bitmaps.conf,no-sub-pixel.conf,sub-pixel.conf,
    unhinted.conf,yes-bitmaps.conf which have been reported as left overs;
    we are polite and use rm_conffile for files that exist but are not symbolic
    links; see LP: #332992 and LP: #305394
  * remove debian/patches/02_ubuntu_fonts_conf.patch which got superseeded by
    files shipped by language-selector package.
