Title:
  upgrade from vivid to wily aborted - dpkg: error processing package
  fontconfig (--remove):  triggers looping, abandoned

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The main issue seemed to be fontconfig but I see a lot of unconfigured
  packages in the log.

  I reinstalled fontconfig from the command line and restarted the
  upgrade which ten finished. I tried dpkg -a --configure and apt-get
  install -f and neither did anything

  Symptoms now
  indicator-power needed to be reinstalled as I had no battery icon

  ubuntu-sdk will not install
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   ubuntu-sdk : Depends: ubuntu-sdk-libs-dev but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu but it is not going to be installed

  (This was do to some test version of oxide I somehow had installed)
