Description Ian Pilcher 2006-06-20 01:43:19 UTC

Description of problem:
When authconfig-gtk is installed on a "minimal" RHEL 4 system, up2date does
not pull in the fonts it needs to actually run.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-gtk-4.6.10-rhel4.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Do minimal RHEL 4 installation
2.  up2date authconfig-gtk
3.  run authconfig-gtk
4.  Observe font-related error message
  
Actual results:
authconfig-gtk bombs out with font-related error message.

Expected results:
Needed fonts should be pulled in by RPM requirments.

Here is the exact error message:

[root@guest1 ~]# authconfig-gtk

(authconfig-gtk.py:2487): libglade-WARNING **: Could not load support for
`gnome': libgnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2006-06-22 12:54:54 UTC

It is really questionable if authconfig-gtk should directly require these fonts.
They should probably be rather required by libglade2 or another package in the
dependency chain.
