Bug Description

Binary package hint: unifont

I've been running dapper for a while and I decided to upgrade to edgy. I did this by adding edgy to my sources.list, did aptitude update; aptitude upgrade.

The upgrade failed with:
Errors were encountered while processing:
 unifont
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up unifont (1.0-3) ...
usage error: unrecognized option
Usage: update-fonts-dir DIRECTORY ...
       update-fonts-dir { -h | --help }
This program is a wrapper for mkfontdir(1x) that is primarily useful to Debian
package maintainer scripts. See update-fonts-dir(8) for more information.
Options:
    -h, --help display this usage message and exitdpkg: error processing unifont (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:

Exactly the same problem here. Any chances that this will get fixed soon? Even removing the package fails with the same message (--force-all does not help either).
