[Bug 828027] Re: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing

[Steve Langasek]

plymouth-label depends libcairo2
libcairo2 depends libfontconfig1
libfontconfig1 depends fontconfig-config
fontconfig-config depends: ttf-dejavu-core | ttf-bitstream-vera | ttf-freefont | gsfonts-x11

You're right that this does not guarantee ttf-dejavu-core is actually
installed; but it will be in the default case and for all systems
installed using Ubuntu media.  Can you clarify how it is that you have
plymouth installed without ttf-dejavu-core?  Do you have one of the
other fonts installed instead?

Title:
  plymouth dependency dejavu font missing

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The plymouth-Package (and his plymouth*-dependencies) does not contain the font deja-vu-sans-Font. The file is in ttf-dejavu-core, but is no dependency of plymouth (but of vlc).
  So, if you install a ubuntu without vlc (e.g. because of own packaging), plymouth will show no messages on bootup, but little little boxes instead of characters.

  This bug is around since lucid (plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu2)
