Bug Description

do-release-upgrade -d failed, because:

Setting up fontconfig-config (2.8.0-3ubuntu9) ...
rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/': Directory not empty
dpkg: error processing fontconfig-config (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

...which results in 20 other dependencies failing to upgrade.
removing the mentioned directory allowed a clean dpkg --configure to continue.

Had the same issue:

 sudo rm /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/id-cache

fixed it for me.
