symbol lookup error

[Alban Crequy]

When I launch Azureus, I get:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden

This problem also happens in other programs like Firefox, Konqueror... Bug always reproductible on Azureus. Sometimes reproductible on Firefox (only on some websites).

This problem only occurs with the last version of libcairo2 in Ubuntu 5.10: libcairo2_1.0.2-3ubuntu2_i386.deb

To resolve the problem, I downloaded the old version of libcairo2 at
http://ftp.oleane.net/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcairo/libcairo2_1.0.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
and installed it with "dpkg -i". This breaks dependancies but it works.

This is the first time I used dpkg on this computer. I always used Synaptic before this problem.

That symbol comes from libfreetype. Please:

nm -D /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 | grep FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden
ldd -r /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2
dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Version}\n' libfreetype6

Unfortunately, I updated my computer to Dapper and that bug disappear... Now it works correctly.
