Hi,
I'm sorry, but when I try to install libfontconfig1-dev I get the error that the corresponding libconfig1 will not be pulled from ubuntu, but from debian:

$ sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libfontconfig1-dev : Depends: libfontconfig1 (= 2.8.0-2ubuntu1) but 2.8.0-2.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

And, sure enough, when I reinstall libconfig1, the debian version is pulled which does not fulfill the requirements for the -dev package:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libfontconfig1
