(The directory used to be provided by the 'font-encodings' package, which is now obsolete). Probably the best way to resolve this is to add a 'mkdir -p ${ENCODINGSDIR}' to the post install script, rather than just assume its existence - provided this 'encodings.dir' is still being read by the X server. Otherwise, use '/usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings' as the encodings directory.
