Look at the second answer on this page, it seems relevant:

Re: Fix a "missing File" list

↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ Checking that out damo thank you

Well it gets stranger still take this line:

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'fonts-noto-mono' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

These show it ...
"yad --font" says it is there.
aptitude search finds it:
i   fonts-noto-mono

"catfish" does NOT find it:

/usr/share/bug/fonts-noto-extra
/usr/share/bug/fonts-noto-hinted
/usr/share/bug/fonts-noto-ui-extra
/usr/share/bug/fonts-noto-unhinted
/usr/share/doc/fonts-noto-color-emoji
/usr/share/doc/fonts-noto-extra
/usr/share/doc/fonts-noto-hinted
/usr/share/doc/fonts-noto-ui-extra
/usr/share/doc/fonts-noto-unhinted
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-color-emoji.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-color-emoji.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-extra.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-extra.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-hinted.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-hinted.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-ui-extra.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-ui-extra.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-unhinted.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-noto-unhinted.md5sums

So the "font" is there, just not in the "dpkg list" and catfish cannot see it.

there are 1579 "Noto" fonts in: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/

34 of them are NotoSansMono{something} .ttf

Personally I would just like to get rid of the fonts.
Tried that once and ented up with "tofu" boxes where I never had them before.

Re: Fix a "missing File" list

Just a warning!
IMO it sounds completely harmless. Ignore it.
Probably a result of not using install-recommends by default.
