Verification done

I can confirm that RHEL/CS 9 is still affected.

root@c9-container:~# dnf install xorg-x11-fonts-misc
<snip>
root@c9-container:~# rpm -qf /usr/share/X11 /usr/share/X11/fonts /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc 
filesystem-3.16-2.el9.x86_64
file /usr/share/X11/fonts is not owned by any package
xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.5-33.el9.noarch

We have no plans to update this component for RHEL 8.10, sorry.

If this issue is still present in CentOS Stream 9, please feel free to open a new Jira issue to track that or reopen this and adjust the Fix Version.

This probably needs a similar solution to bug 2107447, so moving to the same component as that one

No immediate functionality impact - though I guess you can get some permission oddness in rare cases. More of a "correctness" issue. filesystem already owns /usr/share/X11 so that seems a reasonable solution.

Hmm, indeed, this is a result of the splitout from xorg-x11-font-utils which previously was, effectively, always pulled in through dependencies. Is there any immediate functionality impact here though?

I'm wondering, this should probably go into filesystem.rpm.
