this seems to be unrelated to ttf-opensymbol

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

It looks like this is time releated (the cock on the test-system was not setup correctly).

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

This appears to be a bug in fontconfig fc-cache if it is considered to be a bug at all. I am not sure why fc-cache would 'failed to write cache' though. However, it may be related to the fact that the clock was set wrong on the system installing the packages.

This is a duplicate of Bug #104553 and it's happening with feisty --> gutsy upgrades now.

fontconfig crashes during dist-upgrade today.

[Janne P. (jp-jannol)]

sudo apt-get install locales
from a terminal window seems to solve it
