Bug Description
[rationale]
Updating fontconfig-config on a system with files inside of /var/lib/
It's apparently the case on Kubuntu and Mythbuntu systems at least when doing LTS-to-LTS upgrades.
[test case]
1) touch /var/lib/
2) Update the package
3) Check the update result
If it works, then we're good.
[regression potential]
Not much expected here, the directory won't be removed if it contains something, so it might lead to a case where something checks for the directory existence and goes through the wrong path. That being said, we're not aware of any such check and even so, it'd likely be far better than having the system fail to upgrade.
