I cannot figure out what to do about this

If I am missing any important information please let me know

#

my understanding is that one of your binaries used to have a font as a dependency, and now they have changed fonts. It tries deleting a font since it doesn't need it anymore, but it breaks a dependency by some other app

#

yep, pretty much

#

do you remember installing all-repository-fonts ?

craggy merlin
