Package: libxft2
Version: 2.1.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
When will the issue with libxft2 be considered seriously so that testing
becomes useable without downgrading libxft*.dev to stable's versions ?
(More details on issues in #350113)
It has been around in testing for weeks now, and nothing seems to have
changed considering the existing bug reports...
Is someone taking this one seriously ?
Thanks in advance.

Don't open new bugs to point people at already open bugs. This is BTS
abuse.

Your aspersions that bugs are not being considered seriously is
inappropriate.

Testing is already perfectly usable if you're running testing. If you are
still seeing bug #350113, you aren't running current testing, because
libxft2 2.1.8.2-3 is not broken when using the libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 that's
also in testing. Further resolution of libfreetype6's ABI problems is
impossible until freetype 2.2 is released.
And I have no idea what you're talking about with dev packages. Bug #350113
has nothing to do with -dev packages.
