I suspect this is different from #49361, in that I think #49361 reports that the font files themselves were going to the wrong directory, whereas in this version the font files do make it into /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ as expected. I suspect the warning comes from an incorrect path in the postinstall script associated with the package.

Removing the package ("apt-get remove xfonts-efont-unicode") reports a similar error at the beginning of the remove process.

Thanks,
