Possible bug with ttf-opensymbol (maybe?)

[Raven-sb]

Hi All,

I update my feisty system today and everything went well except for the ttf-opensymbol file which refuses to install itself correctly. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but I decided to post the error output here for some feedback about what I could do to fix this problem. Please note the system is running find, I just continually get this error whenever I update or install software.

Warm Regards

Raven
