I am trying to install the fontconfig
but it gives the following error. Is there any other way for installing this pack?

fontconfig didn't update for a while. You can use fontconfig-py or use GObjectIntrospection based TypeLib.
import gi
gi.require_version('fontconfig', '2.0')
from gi.repository import fontconfig
# you can use fontconfig module now.
I don't know its typelib is complete or not. But you can edit its 'gir' file and contribute back to be usable for a wider audience.
