Probably of little use, but I thought I'd report what I think is a similar problem I encountered when upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy. The Feisty was a fresh install, only updated.
The dist. upgrade GUI terminated while installing the Gutsy packages. In a terminal I ran apt-get update and upgrade. The output is attached. I am fairly certain everything was corrected by wolfe99's suggestion. Thank you! ** Attachment added: "fontconfig" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9706780/fontconfig -- upgrade failed when fontconfig cache dirs are newer than system date https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
