Summary: x86 fontcache can't be rebuilt on x86_64 systems https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485569 Summary: x86 fontcache can't be rebuilt on x86_64 systems Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: x86_64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: fontconfig AssignedTo: besfahbo(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: john.ellson(a)comcast.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: besfahbo(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: After various font rpm churn on rawhide my 32 bit application would crash with a malloc failure because of a messed up font cache. One could wonder: a) why is the 32 bit cache different from the 64 bit? b) why isn't fontconfig keeping them both uptodate? but I have a simpler request: "man fc-cache" states: Note that fc-cache must be executed once per architecture to generate font information customized for that architecture. but it isn't possible to do this on x86_64 because only the 64 bit version of /usr/bin/fc-cache is installed, even if both i386 and x86_64 fontconfig rpms are installed. ** Request that /usr/bin/fc-cache-64 and /usr/bin/fc-cache-32 both be installed, and that a new /usr/bin/fc-cache shell script be created that runs them both. The man page also says: On a subsequent run, fc-cache will augment the cache information files with the information for the new architecture. but apparently this didn't work through some series of font rpm upgrades. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig-2.6.95-1.git.66.gb162bfb.fc11 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /var/cache/fontconfig 2. rm * 3. fc-cache Actual results: Only *x86-64.cache-2 files created Expected results: Both *x86.cache-2 and *x86-64.cache-2 files created Additional info: Any ugly workaround to the current situation is: rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches fontconfig fontconfig-devel yum install fontconfig.i386 fc-cache yum install fontconfig.x86_64 fontconfig-devel.x86_64 fc-cache -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
