Public bug reported:

Attempting to upgrade a fully updated 14.04.3 system to Xenial using the
do-release-upgrade tool.

The upgrade proceeds until it attempts to install fontconfig.  This
fails and causes a cascading set of failures for 160+ more packages
resulting in a system that boots, and has console access, but no Unity,
and other things that either fail to work or only work halfway.

Attempts after the failed upgrade to fix the issues via "apt-get -f
install" fail with the same errors as seen during the upgrade.

Here's the apt term log showing the errors, starting with fontconfig:

And here's the contents of fontconfig.log as suggested by trying to
manually install fontconfig vai "apt-get install fontconfig"
