Getting 1.6-1 from Debian unstable doesn't work for me, in Karmic. It
has a dependency that breaks a package, specifically libfontconfig1. It
needs 2.8.0, and breaks 2.6.0. Well, libfontconfig1 needs fontconfig-
config, which is what actually breaks it, but that's besides the point.
This package is important, because (in my  main learning experience) I
force installed fontconfig-config 2.8.0, and found it borked most
everything that needed 2.6.0, which was a lot. Oh well, I have a
separate /home partition, no worries.

Keep in mind that I compiled my 1.6 from source, so this is probably the
reason why there wasn't dependency problems, AND why the bug still
exists in the compiled version.

Come to think of it, the thing that remains static to me is
libfontconfig1, which might be where the bug actually is, because 1.4
used to work fine on the same setup. libfontconfig1 may have been
updated and broken something.

This is all speculation of course...

Packages are here:

sid's libfontconfig1: http://packages.debian.org/sid/libfontconfig1
sid's fontconfig-config: http://packages.debian.org/sid/fontconfig-config

There may be more, but I haven't gotten past libfontconfig1, so I can't
be sure.
