apt - Can't upgrade old Ubuntu, error processing package fontconfig



I'm running old Ubuntu Server 13.04 (raring), and trying to upgrade or even install any packages I'm getting the following error:




root@oem-mobilidade:~# sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto
Construindo árvore de dependências
Lendo informação de estado... Pronto
0 pacotes atualizados, 0 pacotes novos instalados, 0 a serem removidos e 0 não atualizados.

/.local/share/fonts: fc-cache: symbol lookup error: fc-cache: undefined symbol: FcStrListFirst


PS: Sorry for the portuguese output.



I read some articles telling to purge fontconfig package and reinstalling it, but I'm afraid of doing this because of this:



The following packages will be REMOVED:
ca-certificates-java* cacti* cacti-spine* default-jre-headless* fontconfig* fontconfig-config* icedtea-7-jre-jamvm* libcairo2* libfontconfig1* libgd2-xpm* libpango1.0-0*
librrd4* libxft2* openjdk-7-jre-headless* php5-gd* rrdtool* tomcat7* tomcat7-admin* tomcat7-common* tomcat7-docs* tomcat7-examples*



This server runs several applications, like Cacti, and other web based tools that depends on apache, tomcat, php, etc, so I'm worried about removing those packages above.



Please, help!!!



SOLVED!!! Downloaded fontconfig.deb package from DEB PACKAGE HERE and reinstalled with



dpkg -i fontconfig_2.10.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb


Now apt-get is working fine and I can upgrade my OS. Thanks guys!!
