[Bug 990555] Re: package fontconfig-config 2.8.0-3ubuntu9 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Dark Dragon]

I ran "apt-get dist-upgrade" manually after the crash.

It showed me the following error message:
"rmdir: failed to remove 'var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/': Directory not empty"

Afterwards all the other packages failed because of dependency problems.

So I removed the directory manually and ran the command again which seems to work fine until now.
So perhaps you should run "rm -R /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/" instead of rmdir...
