RE: Testing, "could not start kdeinit. check your installation" since yesterdays updates
Yup, get the libXft 2.1.7 library and replace that shared object library as
below and it will work, it is only a hack but it works..
I fixed this by using the lib from a box with libXft2 2.1.7 instead of
2.1.8.2-3.
# mv libXft.so.2.1.2 libXft.so.2.1.2-2.1.8.2-3
# scp root@box:/usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 .
Then everything worked again.
Note: I did grab the 2.1.7 deb but when I did the apt-get install / upgrade,
it wiped it out, very nasty! The worst part is people probably will not see
this until they reboot!

Using mirrors.kernel.org as my repo, any way to fix this issue?
# nm -D libXft.so.2 |grep Glyph

I am seeing this on two machines.
It dosn't matter if I use kdm or startx, I get that error in a small
window just before the kde-splasscreen. And my syslog is filled with
dbuserrors like this:
Feb 19 12:29:35 localhost hcid[6842]: Can't send D-BUS inquiry start
message
Whats up anyone?
