Well, it is still incorrect.

Try the following :
rm -rf /var/cache/fontconfig
as simple user, run "xterm -fa sans" => cache is created as
~/.fonts.cache-2 and everything is fine
re-run xterm -fa sans => xterm fallbacks to xfs

using FC_DEBUG=1, you can see file information sent to applications for
fonts are incorrect. For instance :
/usr/share/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf instead
of /usr/share/fonts/ttf/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

Moreover, both fc-cache . and fc-cache /foo/bar vs fc-cache /foo/bar/
bugs are back.
