>Description:
I initially attempted to do an update from 4.5 to 4.10,
as a binary only user with kernel sources and X11.
The update failed because of an undefined symbol in an X11 fontserver
library:
fontconfig-2.2.2,1 aborted error code 1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.1:
undefined symbol "FT_Get_BDF_Property"
loading dependent package
XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_7 failed
XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0_3 failed
A subsequent attempt to do a complete install failed in the same way, not surprisingly.
The result is an installation process which doesn't complete, and a disk which is in a dubious state.
>How-To-Repeat:
I *think* this should fail by simply choosing normal X11 user with kernel sources and installing. Can't be certain because I completed (I think) the installation by hand, since at the failure point everything was on the disk and I could build a custom kernel and go from there.
The error is definitely repeatable once it occurs; I got it with any attempted install which included X11.
>Fix:
It would be nice if one had the option of completing the installation and omitting the unsuccessful package (X11).
