Description Adjudicator Darren 2021-02-02 04:19:19 UTC
media-libs/fontconfig-infinality-20130404
creates /etc/fonts/infinality/infinality.conf which contains a reference to "infinality/conf.d" like:
infinality.conf:116:    <include>infinality/conf.d</include>
but that dir doesn't exist as: /etc/fonts/infinality/conf.d
but as soon as that's created the error goes away:
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/fonts/infinality/conf.d

The error is like:
$ VirtualBox
Fontconfig error: Cannot scan config file "infinality/conf.d"


Could maybe the package [media-libs/fontconfig-infinality-20130404 create that dir  upon emerge or something ?

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Adjudicator Darren 2021-02-02 04:21:54 UTC
Come to think of it, maybe it's expecting conf.d to be a file? if I interpret the error message correctly, despite the "conf.d" naming.

In context, contents of file /etc/fonts/infinality/infinality.conf
has:
  <!-- Run infctl.sh or change the symlink in current directory instead of modifying this -->                                            
  <include>infinality/conf.d</include>   

there's no infctl.sh anywhere installed by the package.
