(In reply to Akira TAGOH from comment #4)
fontconfig just requires one English font (at least, and no deps to
the
specific fonts) to make it working. it was added to address it by the
request. I'm not sure if the langpacks sasisfies that though, if you have
any idea, please let me know.
Imagine, you install fontconfig which pulls font X.
Then you install fluxbox
which pulls font Y. Both of them have Provides: font(:lang=en). When you remove
fluxbox (and all unneeded packages) solver doesn't know which font is better to
remove, X or Y. So it keeps both.
Langpack system works with weak (and IIRC rich dependencies). You can check
implementation:
*
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/langpacks.git/tree/langpacks.spec
*
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Langpacks
Making something similar could take a bit of time, but it will be definitely
better.
Backto original bug: how come that it requires one English font? Is there some
bug behind it or ...?
