gsfonts-X11 gives warning of directory not exist

[Jeff Peeler]

Binary package hint: gsfonts-x11

This was done on a fresh copy of edgy with all the updates.

I installed the sun-java5-jre and sun-java5-plugin packages. During the setting phase:

Setting up gsfonts-x11 (0.20build1) ...
warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 does not exist or is not a directory
warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 does not exist or is not a directory
warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 does not exist or is not a directory

I know this is minor but I was hoping it would be an easy fix.

I can confirm this on edgy. After installing the package, emacs default font was changed. :-(

Interestingly, I am getting the same error message. I became aware of it since it would not allow me to continue my installation of Flash without the proper install of GSfonts X11

[LeLoZ (vincent-lozano)]

One solution to this problem could be :

1. create a symbolic link to /etc/X11/fonts in /usr/lib/X11
    ln -s /etc/X11/fonts /usr/lib/X11/fonts
2. put in the postinst script of gsfonts-x11.deb :
update-fonts-scale Type1
update-fonts-dir Type1 # !! no --x11r7-layout option !!
update-fonts-alias Type1

Hope this helps.
