Bug#684218: ogre contains non-free font from larabie collection

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Source: ogre
Version: 1.7.4-5
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: http://ogre3d.org/mantis/view.php?id=546

People reported to me that the package contains the Larabie fonts,
which are considered non-free [1], and there are packages for
fonts-larabie which are indeed in non-free [2] containing the same
files [3]:

   Samples/Media/fonts/bluebold.ttf
   Samples/Media/fonts/bluecond.ttf
   Samples/Media/fonts/bluehigh.ttf
   Samples/Media/fonts/solo5.ttf

This affects both "ogre" and "ogre-1.8" packages, submitting
independent bug reports.

This is reported upstream in the hope that they will fix it in
upcoming releases [4], but in the meantime the package will need a new
sourceful upload with a new .orig.tar file without these files in
order to fix the issue.

Regards.
