Description of problem: Since version 4.4.1, if both Meera(smc-meera-fonts) and Rachana(smc-rachana-fonts) are installed, and then Meera is uninstalled, Rachana is no longer recognized by fc-list, even after a "fc-cache -f". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install smc-{meera,rachana}-fonts 2. yum remove smc-meera-fonts 3. fc-list|grep -i rachana Actual results: "fc-list|grep -i rachana" returns nothing, so does "fc-list :lang=ml". Expected results: Rachana is recongnized. Additional info: Further, %{_fontdir}/smc/{Meera,Rachana} etc are not owned by any package. This is caused during 4.4.1 upgrade, and which is causing the above issue. Even when smc-meera-fonts is removed, %{_fontdir}/smc/Meera directory remains which causes fc-cache not to update the cache. I'm not sure why "fc-cache -vf /usr/share/fonts/smc/Rachana" says 1 font is added, but still not showing Rachana in fc-list; though. The fix is to make sure the subdirectories are owned by corresponding sub packages.
I was able to reproduce the same issue in a fresh install of Fedora 14. Removed samyak-malayalam-fonts and following SMC fonts smc-kalyani-fonts-4.4-2.fc14.noarch, smc-meera-fonts-4.4-2.fc14.noarch, smc-anjalioldlipi-fonts-4.4-2.fc14.noarch, smc-raghumalayalam-fonts-4.4-2.fc14.noarch, smc-dyuthi-fonts-4.4-2.fc14.noarch, smc-suruma-fonts-4.4-2.fc14.noarch, smc-rachana-fonts-4.4-2.fc14.noarch, smc-fonts-common-4.4-2.fc14.noarch fc-list doesn't shows Rachana after installing only smc-rachana-fonts $ fc-list :lang=ml Lohit Malayalam:style=Regular

Why on earth is this package installing fonts in sub-directories of %{_fontdir}? This is not compliant with Fedora packaging guidelines. Please apply Packaging guidelines strictly and install font files in %{fontdir} directly

Thanks and sorry for the outburst. I really didn't want to have to add yet another sanity check to fontpackages rpm macros (I will probably add it anyway)
