Bug#1072210: fontconfig-config: leaves broken symlink after purge: /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.15.0-1.1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package.postinst creates
a symlink that is left over as a broken symlink after purge.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m24.7s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:
  /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf


Looks like 70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf is missing from the cleanup
list in fontconfig-config.postrm.


This affects around 11000 packages (transitively) depending on
fontconfig-config and thus renders piuparts tests checking for such
broken links much less useful.


cheers,

Andreas
