I would simply recommend removing the offending files using rm, we certainly know the list.

News draft:
fontconfig 2.10.1 update - manual intervention required
Fontconfig 2.10.1 update overwrites symlinks created by the former package version. These symlinks need to be removed before any further update:
rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/20-unhint-small-vera.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/40-nonlatin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/45-latin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/51-local.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-nonlatin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-unifont.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/90-synthetic.conf pacman -Syu
Main systemwide configuration should be done by symlinks (especially for autohinting, sub-pixel and lcdfilter):
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d ln -s ../conf.avail/XX-foo.conf
Wouldn't it be possible and make sense to remove those in the pre_install() or pre_upgrade() functions of the new packages? Heiko
