Subject: bug#36862: Root-owned /var/cache/fontconfig sometimes exists, shouldn't.
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2019 00:37:02 +0200 [thread overview]

Guix,
Just leaving this here so I don't forget.
Sometimes fonts break, and after a few frustrating, impotent runs
of ‘fc-cache -rv’ you notice:
/var/cache/fontconfig: not cleaning unwritable cache directory
Deleting this stale (root-owned) directory makes fonts fun again.
Happens about once or twice a month here.
Kind regards,
T G-R
