Description Ari Entlich 2010-07-14 02:09:04 UTC

The font eclass (font.eclass) runs "fc-cache -fs" twice, first in postinst and then in postrm. This seems like a bit of a waste to me.

Reproducible: Always

needs to be run on install of new font: postinst.
needs to be run on uninstall of a font: postrm.
needs to be run on upgrade: postrm.

but there's no way to know that we could have skipped postinst until postrm is run.

forgot.

needs to be run on reinstall: postinst

so really no way of knowing.
