Annoying ttf-opensymbol Can't Be installed

This is a problem solving which based on dannieboy79 solution.

This problem arise when we tries to upgrade Debian based distro. The log:

#> fc-cache
/usr/share/fonts: failed to write cache
/usr/share/fonts/X11: failed to write cache
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1: failed to write cache
/usr/share/fonts/type1: failed to write cache
/usr/local/share/fonts: failed to write cache

The problem is because the font cacher refused to access there unless we touch it first. So, the problem is by touching each of the directory. There is a quick fix with command:

#> touch /usr/share/fonts

or if you want the fast way, use the [DAN07] link. He provide the full review. For my convinience, it said:

#> cat cache_fail_folder_list.txt | xargs touch

Oh, btw, you do know that we are handling system files here. So don't forget to do all the work as root. :P
