Title:
  package openjdk-7-jre-headless (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: conffile './etc/java-7-openjdk/fontconfig.bfc' is not
  in sync with other instances of the same package

Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I had amd64 version of openjdk 7 installed already and attempted to
  install the i386 one.  apt-get entered some weird state where the
  installation fails.  I think at least apt-get (or dpkg) should reject
  such an attempt or make the installation work.
