Looking more closely at this I think it is a bug on our side. When freetype
is not found it returns version as 'Failed to identify version.' which it
tries to compare to a version number. The version number is correctly
converted from string to numbers using loosversion but this string just
makes it through. The workaround at the moment is to install the freetype
dev as Tom said.
