Package: libcairo2

Followup-For: Bug #325526
The very same problem happens when I try to build GIMP from CVS on a
Debian testing system. The PDF import plug-in that uses poppler fails
to build:
/usr/bin/../lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined reference to `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'
As far as I can tell, the problem is that libcairo is built against a
newer version of libfreetype6 which is not yet in testing (2.1.7 vs.
2.1.10). The bug is thus a missing dependency. libcairo2 should depend
on libfreetype6 >= 2.1.10.
I've had a check and it seems to be the case. freetype bug #316031
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=316031
shows the horror.
Given that there seems little chance of freetype 2.1.10 going into testing
anytime soon from the number of RC bugs, I think the only solution is to
try to rebuild cairo without that function; it's a configure-time test
anyway but the rebuild will need some source patching.
