We have made a solution for S.L. 4.1 x86_64, so that it will be fixed in 
the release.
We are also putting the new fontconfig's in the 4.0 x86_64 errata area. 
  This is not because fontconfig had a security problem, but we are 
worried that this conflict might cause something to not update properly 
in the future.  We feel it is better to nip it in the bud now, than try 
to remember the problem later.
