Title:
  [Master] font package failed to install/upgrade: post-installation
  exit status 1 - /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-dejavu-extra.hints: Unable to
  open, or empty

Status in “defoma” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ttf-dejavu

  Under certain circumstances font packages failed to install with the
  following error:

  Setting up ttf-konatu (24-3) ...
  /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-konatu.hints: Unable to open, or empty.
  dpkg: error processing ttf-konatu (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

  This is due to a corrupted hint file.

  == Workaround ==
  To workaround it, open a terminal and run the following commands:
  $ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-dejavu-extra.prerm
  $ sudo apt-get remove --purge ttf-dejavu-extra
  $ sudo  apt-get clean

  Then try performing the install again. 
  Replace the font file name (e.g. ttf-dejavu-extra) by the font name failing on your system.
