Yup, get the libXft 2.1.7 library and replace that shared object library as below and it will work, it is only a hack but it works..
I fixed this by using the lib from a box with libXft2 2.1.7 instead of 2.1.8.2-3. # mv libXft.so.2.1.2 libXft.so.2.1.2-2.1.8.2-3 # scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 . Then everything worked again. Note: I did grab the 2.1.7 deb but when I did the apt-get install / upgrade, it wiped it out, very nasty! The worst part is people probably will not see this until they reboot! -----Original Message----- From: Justin Piszcz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 6:20 AM To: 'debian-changes@lists.debian.org' Subject: Latest upgrade breaks KDE in Etch? # startkde kdeinit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden Using mirrors.kernel.org as my repo, any way to fix this issue? # nm -D libXft.so.2 |grep Glyph U FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
