Bug#409072: /usr/bin/X: X crashes with symbol lookup error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Init_FreeType

[Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-11
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/X


The X server crashes hard, console text mode is not restored.  There's
nothing in Xorg.0.log to indicate a crash.

The last line belonging to the session in /var/log/kdm.log is:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X: symbol lookup error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Init_FreeType

I can trigger it reliably by loading http://freshmeat.net/projects/linux
into Opera.

This started happening after upgrading to Xorg.
