[Bug 1698413] [NEW] package libfontconfig1 2.11.94-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libfontconfig1/README.gz', which is different from other instances of package libfontconfig1:amd64

[Ward Bones]

Public bug reported:

Software locked up and I had to force quit it.  I think the package had
only partially downloaded or installed when I did.  I had to remove the
package manually and sudo apt -f install (I think).  Anyway, not sure
what happened to "Software"  I left it for twenty minutes before I
exited.

Thanks,
