Hello,

thanks for the report. I can rule out that this is a bug in kodi or
freeorion. In my opinion fonts-roboto-hinted should not conflict with
fonts-roboto-unhinted because both packages provide different files in
different directories. Hence I'm going to reassign the bug to
fonts-roboto-hinted.

If the package was split some time ago then using a versioned Breaks +
Replaces is usually the preferred solution. Just conflicting seems wrong
in this case.

Regards,

Markus
