You can find the old versions of this library on snapshot.debian.net if you add the following 4 lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft2 deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft2 deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xft Then you get: $ apt-cache policy libxft2 libxft2: Installed: 2.1.8.2-3 Candidate: 2.1.8.2-3 Version table: *** 2.1.8.2-3 0 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.1.8.2-2 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft Packages 2.1.8.2-1 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft Packages 2.1.7-1 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft Packages 2.1.2-6 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft Packages 2.1.2-5 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft Packages 2.1.2-4 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft Packages 2.1.1-2 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft2 Packages 2.1-7 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft2 Packages 2.1-6 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft2 Packages 2.1-5 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft2 Packages 2.1-4 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft2 Packages 2.1-3 0 500 http://snapshot.debian.net pool/xft2 Packages You can install a specific version by # apt-get install libxft2=2.1.7-1 (and use apt-pinning or aptitude to forbid upgrades of this package until the problem is solved) Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
