Configure warning while installing - no directory

Binary package hint: xfonts-base

I updated my ubuntu-box from dapper to edgy. Some xfonts-* packages seem to have wrong reference to directory where fonts are installed:

luca@redrum:~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi xfonts-scalable

Infact there is no /usr/X11/fonts/ directory: missing directories are under /usr/share/fonts/X11 directory.

Maybe yes. Now, re-running the same command (apt-get --reinstall install xxx) there are no wornings and

$ ls /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ -la
 .
 ..
 100dpi -> /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/
 75dpi -> /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/
 misc -> /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/
 Type1 -> /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/

I'm closing this bug because it seems fixed. (duplicate of bug 54809)
