Based on that, you can work around the problem by commenting out the type1 fonts in /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/09-texlive.conf, like this:
$ cat /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/09-texlive.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>
<!-- <dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1</dir> -->
</fontconfig>
Then rerun the command '/usr/libexec/fc-cache-1 -sv' from /etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh.

Thank you! The workaround seems to work.
Would this solution affect the compilation processes of lualatex (which does compile the file in question) or pdflatex?
No. lualatex and pdftex don't use fontconfig.
By the way, I've filed a bug report about this problem:
