Description of problem:
âfontconfigâ in Rawhide does not provide /etc/fonts/local.conf file anymore. You can compare â%filesâ sections:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/rpms/fontconfig/FC-4/fontconfig.spec
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/rpms/fontconfig/devel/fontconfig.spec

It now uses /etc/fonts/conf.d/*.conf files for changing fontconfig configuration. It make packagers' life much easier, because this approach does not require to implement XML ninja skilz in rpm scriplets ;-) You can now just drop a proper file in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ and that's all :]

Having that said, I can now write about the problem. Instalation of fluxbox in Rawhide fails (at least on my machine):

[root@X packages]# LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rpm -Uvh fluxbox-0.9.14-1.fc5.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:fluxbox                ########################################### [100%]
fgrep: /etc/fonts/local.conf: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /etc/fonts/local.conf: No such file or directory

[root@X packages]# LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ls /etc/fonts/local.conf

error: %postun(fluxbox-0.9.14-1.fc5.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
[root@X packages]#

You can now:
a) create custom fontconfig configuration file and install it in /etc/fonts/conf.d/
b) move /usr/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz-aleczapka to /usr/share/fonts/artwiz-aleczapka

I would suggest option b) because installing not architecture-dependent data in the /usr/lib directory is against FHS 2.3 and, what is more, modular X.org X11R7 does not use /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ dir anymore. If you don't like /usr/share/fonts, you can always use /usr/share/X11/fonts, but it would require fontconfig configuration file. There was a discussion about it recently on fedora-devel-list:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-November/msg00144.html

IMHO mixing X.org X11 files with files from other packages is not a Good Thing⢠so I like /usr/share/fonts/artwiz-aleczapka location more ;)

What is more, fluxbox does not uninstall all files. Please see bug #171978 You can use something like this in your spec file:

# "touch" file we've got flagged as %ghost
touch %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/artwiz-aleczapka/fonts.cache-1
touch %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/artwiz-aleczapka/fonts.cache-2

[snip]

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)

...

%ghost %verify(not md5 size mtime) %{_datadir}/artwiz-aleczapka/fonts.cache-1
%ghost %verify(not md5 size mtime) %{_datadir}/artwiz-aleczapka/fonts.cache-2

I would also tweak a bit your rpm scriplets. Right now they can fail if `fc-cache' is not present -- thats wrong â https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165900#c1

You may find these lines helpful:

%post
if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then 
  %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{_datadir}/fonts
fi

%postun
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
  if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then 
    %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{_datadir}/fonts
  fi
fi

(copied from dejavu-fonts.spec) Place similar lines using `chkfontpath' if you thing that is needed.
