prelinking?. [was: Re: something busted in fonts on debian/sparc in unstable?]
Actually, I was wrong. It turns out prelinking was the culprit. I have
no idea what i did yesterday that caused it to suddenly work agian.. but
today, after going an upgrade again, my system broke in the same way. I
noticed that both upgrades involved installing a new version of
openoffice, (1.1.1rc3 two days ago, 1.1.1-1 today).. which i could have
sworn I told it never to do prelinking but it insists on doing it
anyway...
reguardless, I did a 'sudo prelink -ua', and suddenly everything works
again errr... agian. I was even careful this time to run xterm, see it
segfault, unprelink everything, run xterm again, and see it work. so i
-know- that did it.
just archiving this in case someone runs into similar problems. thanks
agian.
