Bug#387928: Can't write cache on clean install for testing
Joel
I have had this problem (unable to write cache) on a clean install
of etch from a full cd image via jigdo (20061009).
(fontconfig version 2.4.1-2)
I have not modifed any font config files at all.
Specifically the problem appeared when I attempted to install
ttf-opensymbol (which is a dependency of OpenOffice).
This means I cannot install openoffice in testing.

Could you show the explicit error message you are obtaining?
What is the result of running "fc-cache -v" as root?

I'm suspecting your fonts.conf file wasn't upgraded; without that,
fontconfig doesn't know where to put the cache files.
Can you check /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and make sure it has two lines like:
<!-- Font cache directory list -->
<cachedir>/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir>
<cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir>
