Hi.

Apparently there are some leftovers:
Unpacking fonts-ibm-plex (1.2.3-2) over (1.2.3-1) ...
dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/usr/share/fonts/opentype/ibm-plex': Directory not empty

l /usr/share/fonts/opentype/ibm-plex/
total 4,1k
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root  10 Jan 30 17:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 302 Nov 21 03:00 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  36 Nov 21 03:03 .uuid


which need to be cleaned up in one of the upcoming versions of this package.


Cheers,
Chris.

Apparently this is a leftover of fontconfig registering this font. My
file system is full of directories like this.

Hmm could be... but packages should then clean this up properly and not
leave behind stale legacy files/dirs forever :-)

And if it affects all font-packages, then all should do so.


Cheers,
Chris.

It's a known bug in fontconfig, not in individual font packages. It is
