Hi Mike,

Indeed I see this bug

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732440

And I have "/usr/share/fonts/opentype/font-awesome" in my system with
several font faces.
Now, sorry for newbie, I have never done this. I tried removing
"fonts-font-awesome", but apt-get would remove "texlive-fonts-extra"
as well and
sudo dpkg --remove fonts-font-awesome
would not allow it either...do you have a workaround?
