  • Bug#1100871: fontconfig-config: postinst fails and breaks installation

    From Luca Boccassi@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 19 21:00:01 2025
    Package: fontconfig-config
    Version: 2.15.0-2.1
    Severity: serious
    Justification: package uninstallable on minimal chroots

    Dear Maintainer(s),

    The NMU for #962420 moved a 'mkdir' in fontconfig-config.postinst out
    of an 'if' statement, so now when it fails the postinst aborts and the
    package installation fails.
    This happens on minimal build systems, like the Open Build Service,
    when the package is pulled in as a build dependency, as
    /usr/local/share/ is not present on the builder. The fix is trivial,
    the mkdir needs to use '-p' so that it creates the parent directories
    if missing too.

    I have uploaded an NMU to DELAYED/1 given it's already in testing.
