The recent upgrade did not deal with obsolete conffiles properly.
Please use the dpkg-maintscript-helper support provided by dh_installdeb
to remove these obsolete conffiles on upgrade.

Hi Pabs,

I'm reassigning this to fonts-droid-fallback, but I also suspect that
this issue still exists I think it was never closed from changelog
before.

So can you please help in confirming if the issue persists?.

Best Regards

Umm. That is weird, we have maintscript in place to remove the
files. But now we can't do anything with fonts-droid as its already
replaced by fonts-droid-fallback.

How do I test this?. Install fonts-droid-fallback and run adequate like above?.

I don't have fonts-droid-fallback installed, so any maintscript from
that wouldn't have done anything.

Install the old version of fonts-droid and then upgrade it to the latest version.

Also, both packages appear to have the fallback stuff installed in them:

Ok I will do that.

As of now yes, new fonts-droid-fallback Replaces and Breaks fonts-droid
there was a bug which I think I fixed in Git but needs upload.

Also new fonts-droid-fallback doesn't install the fontconfig file there
is a check to install it only in ubuntu as mention by Ubuntu maintainer.

Make sure to handle that removal properly, since it is a new conffile.
