If you are set on using etch (stable), which will not see any libcairo2 updates and it is known that 1.2.4 is too old for Scribus then my question is - why are you building with Cairo in the first place? The solutions seem to present themselves in the following order: * Use my etch package built with libart, which works well, or build your own if you are really intent on doing your own compilation, but still with libart-2.0 not libcairo2. * Dist-Upgrade to Sid or wait until Lenny (Testing) will get current libcairo2 (1.4.6) from sid and then dist-upgrade to lenny. * Backport libcairo2 to etch on your own by doing a rebuild of a source package or wait until we switch to cairo after 1.3.4 release and I am forced to start backporting it to etch anyway. * Pollute your system with stuff installed into /usr/local and watch it crash and burn eventually.
