I have problems with the gnustep-back-common package. It does not configure correctly. This problem began after an upgrade from Debian 7 to Debian 8. I have searched on line for a solution, but not found anything to help me.
System details:

To produce the error:

The created log file contains 188 lines of output:

The configure error and resulting log file are generated by the gnustep-back-common postinstall script "/var/lib/dpkg/info/gnustep-back-common.postinst".
The script commands that generates the log file and the failure:
Code: Select all
mknfonts $(fc-list : file | grep -v '\.gz' | cut -d: -f1) \
2>/var/log/gnustep-back-common.log \
|| (echo " failed, see /var/log/gnustep-back-common.log."; exit 1)

I don't how to fix this or what to do next. Has anyone seen this before, or can anyone offer some advice please?
All help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
