Re: dpkg/xtt-fonts trouble

From apt-cache show xtt-fonts:

This is psude package to upgrade xtt-fonts smoothly.
If this package is installed, this will be deleted by myself automatically.

I think this package is obsoleted by ttf* (= ttf-xtt-wadalab-gothic,
ttf-watanabe-mincho, xfonts-xtt-wadalab-gothic, xfonts-xtt-watanabe-mincho).
