Just to keep people up-to-date, it will be a few hours before Branden is
ready to upload a fixed, so please either downgrade or wait for the new
package to be built, tested and uploaded.

xrender (0.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Urgency medium because the problem fixed by this release bites a lot
of KDE users who are using XFree86 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 Debian packages.
* Add new diversion of the actual old libXrender shared object (as
opposed to diverting only the symlinks). This is necessary because
ldconfig will recreate the libXrender.so.1 symbolic link in /usr/X11R6/
lib, which causes major confusion (and possibly errors from the dynamic
loader) for anything that searches /usr/X11R6/lib before /usr/lib. /
usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1.1 is now being diverted to /usr/X11R6/
lib/xlibs.libXrender-1.1.so.1.1. The diversion's name has to have
"xlibs." preprended because ldconfig will attempt to operate on any
plain file matching "lib*.so*".
- debian/libxrender1.preinst
- debian/libxrender1.postrm
* Under duress, ship a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la to /
usr/lib/libXrender.la. There appears to be a bug in libtool that that
compels it to place absolute paths to .la files in other .la files.
This symlink should allow a transition to a non-broken libtool (or the
eventual recompilation of all libraries that transitively depend on
libXrender, which is a lot of them) and will be removed in the future.
