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.
I could imagine why this happened. but there are no reaons to depend on the
specific fonts in fontconfig, then I said I'm not sure if or how the langpacks
sasisfies the fontconfig's requirements.
Backto original bug: how come that it requires one English font? Is
there
some bug behind it or ...?
that's easy to imagine too... when no fonts installed on the system, fontconfig
will returns no fonts against the request from the applications. then
applications won't work as expected due to that.
