Description skierpage 2021-05-03 09:58:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
After a `dnf system-upgrade` to Fedora 34, I ran `sudo symlinks -r /usr | grep dangling` as recommended by https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/

this reports the dangling (broken) symlink
    dangling: /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/google-droid-sans-fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 9.53.3


How reproducible:
I only have the one computer running Fedora.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to Fedora 34
2. Run `symlinks -r /usr/share/ghostscript | grep dangling` or just `ls -lL /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFSubst/`

Actual results:
cannot access '/usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf': No such file or directory

Expected results:
The packages should cooperate to avoid broken symlinks.

Additional info:

I think the font is now named /usr/share/fonts/google-droid-sans-fonts/DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf , note "Full" on the end, provided by the package google-droid-sans-fonts-20200215-9.fc34.noarch. I don't know which end of the symlink should be updated. It might be created in the ghostscript.spec file with the line

ln -fs %{google_droid_fontpath}/DroidSansFallback.ttf %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf
