Hello,
I have a problem with rebuilding the TinyERP package for Fedora Extras.
It needs to start a X server during the build process, so there is a
"BuildRequires" dependency on xorg-x11-server-xvfb. The X server needs a
default font "fixed", so there is a "BuildRequires" dependency on
xorg-x11-fonts-base. When you look into the fonts-base package than the
font "fixed" is defined in the /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
file. This was sufficient at least until the last build of this package
on July 24. In current Fedora Devel there is a problem because the font
"fixed" cannot be found. So what happened to the font "fixed"?
You can find the build logs at
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-development-extras/16094-ti...
Each of the X server subpackages that requires fixed/cursor fonts in
order to work properly at runtime, should be doing:
Requires: xorg-x11-fonts-base
That way at X server installation time, there is a runtime dependency
on the fonts that are required to operate properly. I could have
sworn such a dependency was present before, however I could be
mistaken, or it's possible the dependency was removed to allow OLPC
to be able to install a minimal installation or somesuch.
I haven't tracked recent Fedora X packaging though.. it's possible
a glitch might have creeped in perhaps. Check and make sure that
The actual fonts are installed, and that there is a valid fonts.dir
in the directory.
