Bug#613280: upgrade-reports: lenny fontconfig failed to remove; prerm fails

[Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>]

Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

In the process of upgrading from lenny to squeeze, I had fontconfig
marked for removal.  However:

Removing fontconfig ...
dpkg: error processing fontconfig (--purge):
 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
configured to not write apport reports
                                      Errors were encountered while processing:
 fontconfig
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I ended up having to upgrade fontconfig with the rest of the system, and remove
it afterward:

Preparing to replace fontconfig 2.6.0-3 (using .../fontconfig_2.8.0-2.1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: ... it looks like that went OK.
Unpacking replacement fontconfig ...
