Details
lib32-fontconfig currently keeps no binaries but fc-cache-32
and runs the cache program post install. This might be
unnecessary since fontconfig copies can be configured to
share their cache data as long as they are of the same
version.
Currently the configure option `--localstatedir=/var` is defined in PKGBUILD, so the two fcs should be already sharing the cache data. One thing remains unknown though: why aren't there any reports regarding breakage in lib32-fc after upgrading extra/fc to 2.11.94? 2.11.94 should have bumped the cache version signatures, and incompatibilities are expected. If some sharing can be confirmed, then all the binaries can be killed and users won't be doing unnecessary fc-caching, which should save plenty of time for CJK (especially Noto Sans CJK) users. |

Also, 'of the same version' -> 'the same cache data version'.
