I appear to have lots of broken (according to aptitude) packages. I've got the stock grml-small three lines uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list ... should I fix that somehow?
I don't know what's your problem, but
[...]
Cleaning up old fontconfig caches... done. Regenerating fonts cache... failed. See /var/log/fontconfig.log for more information. dpkg: error processing fontconfig (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[...]
Here's fontconfig.log:

What a stupid script...
If you run the command manually it does not return any errors as well, right?
# fc-cache -s -f -v
A workaround would be to just disable the fc-cache line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/fontconfig.postinst and rerun "apt-get install" then.
