hi,

first of all, this isn't meant to be a distro trolling discussion, there
are better places for that ;-)

several days ago google HO started to fail after updating my debian/sid
setup. as discussed on G+ [1] and on googlegroups [2], that seemed to be
impacting anyone on debian/sid. when i realized that it was working on
debian/testing (Jessie) i decided just use 'testing'... however since last
evening update on 'testing', it started to fail too.. leaving me without
any working HO at all, which is quite inconvenient at Linaro..

after bisecting my system using snapshot.debian.org, i figured out which
package was the culprit:

# apt-cache policy libcairo2
libcairo2:
  Installed: 1.12.14-4
  Candidate: 1.12.14-4
  Package pin: 1.12.14-4
  Version table:
     1.12.16-2 1001
        500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
 *** 1.12.14-4 1001
        500 
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20130927T214600Z/testing/main
amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Simply downgrading libcairo2 [3] 'fixes' the problem. I know it's not
'fixing' it really, but i hope that this will be enough information so that
the real fix is uploaded.

In the mean time, if any of use use Debian , you can use that as a
workaround..

cheers

nico
