Description

@tbalbers

So, this is a standard Debian Stretch, just updated.

Upgrading iridium-browser fails on a libfontconfig1 dependency. The dependency does not seem to be available in Stretch at all.
`
tba@pc588:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
9.4

tba@pc588:~$ sudo apt list --installed |grep iridium

I have this issue on 5 machines now, running either Debian Stretch or SolydX.
