Does p5-PerlMagick use fontconfig itself, or does it only pull it in
when linking to ImageMagick?
That's usually the main criteria for adding a bl3.mk.

I have two ideas about that:

How do you update your packages?

Did you at some point switch from native to modular xorg and not
recompile ImageMagick?
