Comment 1 Lawrence Lim 2005-11-08 00:47:19 EST

Think it could be related to the drop of timestamp.patch.

July 23 2005 Kristian HÃ¸gsberg <krh@redhat.com> - 2.3.2-1
- Update to fontconfig-2.3.2.  Drop

        fontconfig-2.1-slighthint.patch,
        fontconfig-2.2.3-timestamp.patch,
        fontconfig-2.2.3-names.patch,
        fontconfig-2.2.3-ta-pa-orth.patch, and
        fontconfig-2.2.3-timestamp.patch,

  as they are now merged upstream.

Comment 2 Lawrence Lim 2005-11-08 01:43:39 EST

Apparently, my rawhide is not 'raw' enough. fontconfig-2.3.92-1 has fixed the issue.
