So I noticed this behaviour:

1. sudo fc-cache
2. get /var/cache/fontconfig cache for $HOME/.fonts which is owned by
root; fc-cache as user then cannot remove /var/cache/fontconfig cache (eek)
3. fc-cache as user fails to remove /var/cache/fontconfig cache for
.fonts, but updates the .fonts directory, so that the
/var/cache/fontconfig cache is now stale.
4. fc-cache as user then succeeds.

If there is no /var/cache/fontconfig cache for $HOME/.fonts then
everything should be fine.

Right, there should be no need to do so.
