I'm glad - I don't know if you've been following the problems around this, but basically it sounds like libxft deleted a symbol in a new version without changing the soname. This of course caused a quite a few problems for quite a few people, but it also sounds like the new version being prepared is a little saner, so it shouldn't recur. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Life is too short to stuff a mushroom. | | steve@lobefin.net | -- Storm Jameson | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
