Right now ("beast" grows):
$ find /var/cache/fontconfig/ -type f | wc -l
119050

$ du -shc /var/cache/fontconfig/
140M    /var/cache/fontconfig/

I will stop font cache; remove files; fix package (if that is still
valid); start font cache.

expect my comeback, with some details, after some monitoring time again...

With best regards.
