Description of problem: Running system-config-network on a minimal system results in this error message: to be ignored start libglade-WARNING **: Could not load support for `gnome': libgnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory to be ignored end error: 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 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.4 1-el5 How reproducible: always if xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 is missing Steps to Reproduce: 1. install minimal system without X 2. yum install xauth system-config-network 3. ssh -X remotehost and run "system-config-network" Actual results: system-config-services (system-config-services:7347): 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 yum -y install -q xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 This system is not registered with RHN. RHN support will be disabled. system-config-services ... runs correctly ... Expected results: system-config-network should have proper Requires: for whatever fonts it needs to run, so they get pulled in automatically with "yum install system-config-network". Additional info: lsof shows the running system-config-network has these font files open: system-co 7898 root mem REG 253,4 72496 36609 /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l048016t.pfa system-co 7898 root mem REG 253,4 70121 36607 /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l048013t.pfa This bug should be a clone of Bug 304231 - No fonts found - missing Requires Since a lot of GUI packages complains about missing fonts reporting the general error "No fonts found bla bla bla ...", and you can fix it simply by installing the xauth and xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 package, a possible solution could be "adding xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 as a dipendence of the xauth package"
Closing with the same argument as bug #304231. Thanks & regards, Phil
