Ah, yes. I added a Conflicts: libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.2) to libipe1c2a and forgot about it :-/ OK. That explains my problem: faulty memory. > This looks like ipe is misusing freetype, if it refuses to work with newer > versions when these versions are ABI-compatible. The short answer is -- this is the claim of Ipe's author, not me -- libfreetype frequently breaks ABI compatibility even with minor-version updates. So ipe has an explicit check of the freetype version. Thanks Steve, -Steve
