Hi,

After upgrade of mplus, I still have got old loose dir and cache file
from previous version:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/mplus
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/mplus/.uuid

Please remove these files on upgrade.

This bug was found by the cruft-ng tool.

Thanks

These files are created by the fontconfig trigger (see details below),
so I think that is the component that should remove them.

Please consider reassigning and retitling the bug to reflect this.

   $ grep  font /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File
   /usr/share/fonts fontconfig/noawait
   /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts fontconfig/noawait
   /usr/share/texmf/fonts fontconfig/noawait

   $ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/fontconfig.triggers
   interest-noawait /usr/share/fonts
   interest-noawait /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
   interest-noawait /usr/share/texmf/fonts

   $ head -vn-0 /var/lib/dpkg/info/fontconfig.post*

   set -e

   if [ "$1" = triggered ]; then
     # Force regeneration of all fontconfig cache files.
     mkdir -p /var/cache/fontconfig
     fc-cache -s -v 1>/var/log/fontconfig.log 2>&1 || printf "fc-cache failed.\nSee /var/log/fontconfig.log for more information.\n"
     exit 0
   fi



   if [ "$1" = configure ]; then
     # Force regeneration of all fontconfig cache files.
     mkdir -p /var/cache/fontconfig
     printf "Regenerating fonts cache... "
     fc-cache -s -f -v 1>/var/log/fontconfig.log 2>&1 || (printf "failed.\nSee /var/log/fontconfig.log for more information.\n"; exit 1)
     printf "done.\n"
   fi

Hi,

 It was not created by fonts packages, but by fontconfig.
 And, it seemed to be fixed in upstream now.

Hi, thanks, but will fontconfig clean-up everything;
all those directories with the .uuid file but nothig else;
or is it too late and all individual font package will have
to clean up individualy the old directories ...?
