[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#703767: Ships useless /etc/fonts/conf.avail/gbp.conf

[David Prévot]

Package: fonts-unfonts-core
Version: 1.0.2-080608-8
Severity: grave
Control: severity -2 important

Hi,

fonts-unfonts-core ships a useless /etc/fonts/conf.avail/gbp.conf file,
that conflicts with a useless file of the same name from
fonts-unfonts-extra, and thus fails to install.

Regards

David
