Description Akira TAGOH 2022-06-03 07:28:22 UTC

Description of problem:
urw-base35-fonts has a dependency to fontconfig but it doesn't actually require anything to fontconfig. just installing urw-base35-fonts at the minimal environment pulls in a lot of binaries due to this. that makes no sense.

If you want to make sure the directory ownership of /usr/share/fontconfig, you should use fonts-filesystem or fontpackages-filesystem for older releases.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
urw-base35-fonts-20200910-11.fc37

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2022-06-24 15:44:39 UTC

This broke Rawhide:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=88679952
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/9952/88679952/anaconda-anaconda.log

pyanaconda.modules.common.errors.installation.PayloadInstallationError: An error occurred during the transaction: Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package urw-base35-bookman-fonts

That's a bit odd, because there's really nothing in the package's own `%post` that should need fontconfig. There must be some more sophisticated mechanism going on here - some kind of trigger from another package, or something. But to try and get Rawhide fixed, I've reverted this change for now.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2022-08-09 13:42:31 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.

Comment 7 Parag Nemade 2023-05-15 10:50:00 UTC

I believe this bug is fixed in commit https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/urw-base35-fonts/c/b722791a1773c08b460b87a9896163346c5da50c?branch=rawhide
Closing this now.
