Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: fontconfig

In the process of upgrading to the development version. Incomplete
instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/UsingDevelopmentReleases so in
vi step for "Devel release as main work environment" I just changed
"hardy" to "intrepid" and let it rip. All downloads completed without
error but there were errors part of the way through install (attached
intrepid_upgrade_failure.txt). I tried to rerun install-docs but got the
same error again:

Setting up base-passwd (3.5.17) ...
Can't locate Pod/Usage.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl 
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl 
.) at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 18.
Global symbol "$opt_rootdir" requires explicit package name at 
/usr/sbin/install-docs line 136.
Execution of /usr/sbin/install-docs aborted due to compilation errors.
dpkg: error processing base-passwd (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9

I got a crash report prompt and hopefully something useful will be
attached when I submit.

Info requested below:
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04
Release:        8.04

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy fontconfig
fontconfig:
  Installed: 2.6.0-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2.6.0-1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.0-1ubuntu2 0

I rebooted and went through several dialogs to do a "Partial Upgrade"
which is currently in progress. Process has halted periodically with
other errors. System is now waiting for a reboot so I'll submit this now
and hopefully be back later :-). Let me know if more info would be
helpful. Thanks!
