[Bug 1805820] [NEW] Dependency error installing fontconfig-dbgsym

[Simon Kissane]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to install fontconfig-dbgsym under Ubuntu 18.04 inside
Docker, running on Docker for Mac.

I use the following Dockerfile:

    FROM ubuntu:18.04
    ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
    RUN apt-get update
    RUN apt-get install -y ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring lsb-release
    RUN \
    	( \
    		echo "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse"; \
    		echo "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs)-updates main restricted universe multiverse"; \
    		echo "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed main restricted universe multiverse"; \
    	) > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list 
    RUN apt-get update
    RUN apt-get install -y fontconfig
    RUN apt-get install -y fontconfig-dbgsym

Everything works except the last step, which fails with:

    Reading package lists...
    Building dependency tree...
    Reading state information...
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     fontconfig-dbgsym : Depends: fontconfig (= 2.12.6-0ubuntu2.2) but 2.12.6-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get install -y fontconfig-dbgsym' returned a non-zero code: 100

It complains the dependency `fontconfig=2.12.6-0ubuntu2.2` isn't
installed, but it was successfully installed by the previous step.

This looks like a bug.
