===========================================================================
The following files are no longer being used by fontconfig-2.4.0nb1,
and they can be removed if no other packages are using them:

        /usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/fonts.dtd
        /usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/fonts.conf

===========================================================================

They are dated Aug 30, 2005 and they were certainly installed by a previous
pkgsrc version of fontconfig -- I dunno about 'broken'.

No -- in that case, the 'old' files are the same as the 'new' files, so
no problem.

BTW, if I haven't mentioned it recently (and I haven't) I'm glad that you
are keeping an eye on our DFly mail lists for pkgsrc problems.  I thank
you on behalf of our entire staff!  (Disclaimer:  I'm not one of the DFly
staff, but I still thank you anyway ;o)
