Package: KDE
Version: 3.5.1
Severity: important

KDE no longer starts up properly after an "apt-get dist-upgrade"  yesterday.

Right after entering usrn/pwd at login screen, a window appears in the
upper left corner saying "could not start kdeinit. check your
installation". the KDE splash screen is then stuck at ("interprocess
communication setup" (in German, in my case, it says: Einrichtung
Interprozess Kommunikation) and the startup process stops at this point.
"ps" at that time says:

 /usr/bin/kdm
\_ /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-wHJggl 
  \_ -:0
      \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/startkde
          \_ /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/startkde
\_ xmessage -geometry 500x100 Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. 

when clicking "Okay" in the error message window, startup continues but
KDE then does not work properly: some key-binds are missing. programs
crash right at startup (e.g. licq, mozilla, firefox) or crash after a
few minutes (e.g. gftp). the problem appears for all users on the
machine, even when starting KDE without a ~/.kde directory (the
kpersonalizer "first session wizard" will then just crash at second
screen and the KDE splash and the error message will appear as described
above). nothing is logged in the syslog, kdm or Xorg logs.


the only clue i got so far is found in .xsession-errors and leads me
to believe that the trouble is somehow connected to libxft2.
.xsession-errors says:

startkde: Starting up...
kdeinit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden 
startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.

note that ibXft.so.2 is in its place, symlinks perfect fine:

them):
