Description Peter Hutterer 2022-07-15 05:33:56 UTC

Description of problem:
/usr/share/X11/fonts is the folder for old-style X11 fonts (xorg-x11-fonts*). This folder was owned by the xorg-x11-font-utils package but as part of the Xorg utility deaggregation work, this package was split into it's proper components (bdftopcf, fonttosfnt, mkfontdir). See Bug 1932731 for details.

The remaining xorg-x11-font-utils package is a bunch of utilities required to install some fonts and the actual font-util font, which is rarely used.

The package still owns /usr/share/X11/fonts but it's now relatively unlikely that the package is installed and in RHEL9 we don't even ship it (see Bug 2104350). Other fonts still install into that directory though.

Since the directory has been that since the last ice-age, we might as well own it as part of filesystem (which already owns the parent directory /usr/share/X11).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
filesystem-3.16-2.fc36.x86_64

How reproducible:
$ dnf remove xorg-x11-font-utils # watch how nothing cares
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/X11/fonts

Actual results:
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/X11/fonts
file /usr/share/X11/fonts is not owned by any package

(well, if xorg-x11-font-utils isn't installed)

Expected results:
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/X11/fonts
filesystem-3.16-2.fc36.x86_64

Oh, the warm fuzzy feeling!
