Title:
  font-manager package crashes on startup

Status in font-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: font-manager

  Dear Folks,

  I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick and have the font-manager
  package version 0.5.6-1 installed. Every time I try to start it up it
  crashes with the following error below:

  ----------------------------------------------------------
  INFO    :  Verified /home/nandu/.fonts.conf
  INFO    :  Font Manager is now starting
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 104, in <module>
      main()
    File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 95, in main
      Main()
    File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 90, in __init__
      self.objects.load_core()
    File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 398, in load_core
      self.data['FontManager'] = core.get_manager(self.data['MainWindow'])
    File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 739, in get_manager
      MANAGER = FontManager(PROGRESS_CALLBACK, parent)
    File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 121, in __init__
      fonts.Sort(self, self.progress, self.parent)
    File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 289, in __init__
      self._sort()
    File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 412, in _sort
      obj = self.cache[name]
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/shelve.py", line 122, in __getitem__
      value = Unpickler(f).load()
  cPickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '/'.
  ----------------------------------------------------------

  A similar problem is reported on:

  http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/issues/detail?id=30

  but as far as I know it is not related to a font problem as said in
  the post above. Furthermore, it is marked as fixed hence, my reason
  for starting a new bug report.

  I have also deleted the files .fonts.conf, .fontconfig and .fonts
  created by the package and reinstalled the package several times but
  the problem persists.

  Please do let me know if any other information is required.

  TIA

  Cheers,
  nav
