Subject: Culmus: not installable after upgrading to fontconfig 2.3.1-1

Package: culmus
Version: 0.101-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi Baruch,

I upgraded to fontconfig 2.3.1-1 and saw it overwrites the previous conf. I guessed that culmus add stuff to /etc/fonts/local.conf and decided to reinstall the package.

Fontconfig new version had a change: usage of /etc/fonts/conf.d instead of /etc/fonts/local.conf. Thus make culmus uninstallable send the installtions scrpits fail and leave the package in Failconfig status.

It seems that the sulution shold be very easy.

Some log from my machine:

This doesn't affect us (yet?) since we are using 2.2.3-4ubuntu4 and not 2.3.1-1,
but it might as well do when we upgrade to that version. A solution seems as
changing the culmus install scripts to point to the new location rather then
/etc/fonts/local.conf, when are we expecting that upgrade?

The new version will come in after Hoary final

Works fine in Hoary, and it's fixed in sid, so no reason to keep this open.
