Bug#897040: fontconfig: .uuid files in font directories not removed during purge
Simon McVittie
Version: 2.13.0-4
Severity: normal
To reproduce: run piuparts on fontconfig or anything that it depends on.
I tested d-feet in a sid base tarball from earlier this week, in a
Debian 9 'stretch' virtual machine:

This can also be seen on piuparts.debian.org:
https://piuparts.debian.org/testing2sid/owned_files_after_purge_issue.html
https://piuparts.debian.org/testing2sid/pass/fontconfig_2.13.0-4.log
I think these .uuid files are created as a result of:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101889
Either fontconfig or fontconfig-config should delete them from known
font directories during purge.
Thanks,

.uuid files and the directory containing it are left behind when all
font files have been removed from the directory. This happened today
where an update of fonts-font-awesome dropped the file
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/font-awesome/fontawesome-webfont.ttf, but the
directory remains (dpkg warned about that, so I noticed it):
,----
| $ ls -lA /usr/share/fonts/truetype/font-awesome
| total 4
| -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36 Apr 11 14:25 .uuid
| $ dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/truetype/font-awesome
| dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/share/fonts/truetype/font-awesome

That upstream bug has been fixed in commit f5dd851[1] which is included
in fontconfig 2.13.1, so I think the Debian bug should be closed too.
Haven't tested whether the fix works, though.
Cheers,
Sven

Tried it manually in a sid chroot, there it works if fontconfig can
perform its trigger processing.
But if fontconfig has pending triggers while being removed, .uuid files
will stay behind.
Probably add a fontconfig.prerm script and in the "remove" case perform
that same actions as in fontconfig.configure "triggered"
fc-cache unfortunately does not seem to have an option for "clear the
cache and delete all .uuid files (and do not regenerate anything)" which
would be the best thing to do in fontconfig.prerm remove

the issue is still present:

This is currently blocking piuparts testing for quite a number
of packages in sid ☹

Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.13.1-2+b1
Dear Maintainer,
Today on removing fonts-noto-extra I've noticed that the package could not be
purged, the reason is the persistence of a .uuid file inside the
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/ directory.
Then I tried to remove the .uuid file manually and reinstall/remove the
package
again to reproduce and yes, the file is still there.

Dear Maintainer,
I am still seeing this bug on testing, as the version is 2.13.1 vs.
upstream version 2.13.91 which should fix the bug as mentioned by Alexis
in this bug report.
Here is an example output from "apt remove" command:
> $ sudo apt remove fonts-jetbrains-mono
> Reading package lists... Done
> Building dependency tree
> Reading state information... Done
> The following packages will be REMOVED:
> fonts-jetbrains-mono
> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 20 not upgraded.
> After this operation, 2807 kB disk space will be freed.

> Processing triggers for fontconfig (2.13.1-2+b1) ...
And each of these directories are containing a ".uuid" file indeed,
which is why the directory is left over after font uninstallation:
> $ ls -a /usr/share/fonts/{truetype,woff,woff2}/jetbrains-mono
> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/jetbrains-mono:
> . .. .uuid
>
> /usr/share/fonts/woff2/jetbrains-mono:
> . .. .uuid
>
> /usr/share/fonts/woff/jetbrains-mono:
> . .. .uuid
After looking at tracker status for fontconfig [1], it seems that the
package is blocked on version 2.13.1 while upstream released two new
versions since then [2]. Last release 2.13.92 was 7 months ago.

[2] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/tags
Is there anything preventing the new version to be tested?
Thanks and have a nice day,
