But then you can't run mozilla from backports.org which is very
annoying. Has anyone tried to recompile qt froms source with having
a new version of libfreetype installed? This should solve the
problem, shouldn't it?
And wouldn't it be sensible to include a dependency libfreetype
<=... in the qt package for kde 3.2 to prevent other people from
running into the same errors...
