As I said last week, in
Message-ID: <43BDBD25 DOT 4397 DOT D39ECE AT ia DOT stryx DOT demon DOT co DOT uk>
- a message which I didn't see any reply to, I have this problem with both 
xorg-x11-{fenc,fnts}.  I tried the "work-around", and I now have three 
(identical) copies of xorg-x11-fenc.

The work-around certainly has the value of allowing you to install other 
packages, but doesn't get me any further forward with the failing 
packages.

You call this a *bogus* failure, which certainly seems to be the case, 
since the size and md5 of the files match those in setup.ini - but then I 
don't see how the work-around is supposed to work.  Could you enlighten 
me?
