Description Peter Hutterer 2021-03-01 02:11:34 UTC

liberation-fonts currently BuildRequires: xorg-x11-font-utils

xorg-x11-font-utils is to be split up into multiple packages, see Bug 1932731. 

This package only requires mkfontscale and mkfontdir, so let's BuildRequires these directly. xorg-x11-font-utils has had Provides for those for ages now anyway, so this is largely a noop from this package's POV.

Comment 9 Peter Hutterer 2022-11-30 07:00:38 UTC

It looks like you have an el7 package installed and are trying to update this with a Fedora package. That's... unusual. Maybe try installing an xorg-x11-font-utils from fedora first and then trying to update to the current one from F36. That should obsolete the right packages.
