[Mageia-dev] bogus packages that provides fonts-ttf-dejavu

[Thierry Vignaud]

Hi

As seen in bug #8820 (https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8820),
some packages bogusly package DejaVu fonts instead of requiring
fonts-ttf-dejavu.
This makes them bogusly provide 'font(XX)' (eg: 'font(fr)' which breaks urpmi
since perl-URPM will only show arched packages when there's both arched &
nonarch packages providing the same provides

$ urpmf DejaVuSans.ttf|grep -v fonts-ttf|sed -e 's!:.*!!'|sort -u
0ad-data
briquolo
gambas3-gb-sdl
libcegui-devel
otrs
php-jpgraph
ruby-prawn-core
salasaga
sarg
sdlbrt
stellarium
teeworlds-data
texlive-texmf
ultrastardx
wesnoth-data
xmoto
zabbix-web

Eg: why a ruby module packages a font????
None of those should do this.
All these packages should be fixed to require fonts-ttf-dejavu instead
of  packaging.

Please fix them (eg: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9354).

I suspect some other fonts-ttf-* are also duplicated...
Eg for Liberation fonts:
cube-escape
flare-data
flightgear-data
freecol
ganttproject
gcstar
zygrib

See you
