[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]

Well my MySQL server upgrade and my GRUB2 upgrade also failed.

It would be nice if there would be some hints what to do when the do-upgrade-script command fails.
Perhaps it should be possible to rerun the script...

Perhaps there should be a separate check if GRUB is successfully installed/upgraded. 
Even though apt-get dist-upgrade succeeded, GRUB2 was not properly installed.

It very hard to fix this with a live distro, mounting lvm volumes as
well as a separate boot partition to fix grub.

But for the fontconfig, deleting the contents of the previously
mentioned directory did the trick!
