Hi,

my bad. I accidently installed ttf-dejavu version 2.33+svn2514-2 from
experimental at some point. Going back to version 2.33-3 from testing placed
all bits correctly.

So this one can be closed.


wesnoth-1.10-core (1:1.10.3-3) depends on wesnoth-1.10-data
wesnoth-1.10-data (1:1.10.3-3) depends on ttf-dejavu
ttf-dejavu ()
