Bug Description
Binary package hint: msttcorefonts
output of:
dpkg -L msttcorefonts
is not listing these files:
ls /usr/share/

Georgia_
Georgia_Bold.ttf verdana.ttf
georgiab.ttf Verdana.ttf
Georgia_Italic.ttf verdanaz.ttf
georgiai.ttf webdings.ttf
georgia.ttf Webdings.ttf
which it should list.
Also the reverse is also not working. output of:
dpkg -S /usr/share/
and:
dpkg -S /usr/share/
results in an error, which it should not.
I know the package is containing an archive that is extracted to create these files. Nevertheless, the package manager can/should be tricked when installing the package to be aware that these files belong to the package in both directions of look up. From file to package and from package to file.
The same problem exists for xfonts-mathml package.
