Oh, I overlooked that you are talking about more than 1 machine, sorry.
Did you install ubuntu-desktop before upgrading? If not, you might want
to try to now (on all the machines). It might sort things out a bit, but
I doubt it can do anything about the laptop's apt problem at this point.
I'm going to concentrate on the apt problem for now. It starts with
this:

Setting up fontconfig (2.3.2-1.1ubuntu12) ...
ln: creating symbolic link
`/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf' to
`/etc/fonts/conf.d/no-bitmaps.conf': File exists

And this causes other problems down the road. I'd suggest we try to
resolve this first. fontconfig tries to create a link called 30-... to
the file no-..., but fails for some reasons. The /etc/fonts/conf.d
directory looks like this on my computer. Please paste your version in a
reply (using the ls -l command)

ls -l /etc/fonts/conf.d/
