No, the libGL version for my Sarge is : libGL.so.1.2 in the package
xlibmesa-gl (version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8)

the libGL.so.1.0.5536 is the version included with the NVIDIA Linux
driver (not the Debian version) and in fact it is THIS lib who broke
kcm_arts ...

Bug#275869: Tricky solution

[Renaud Duhaut]

Hi,

I had the same exactly the same problem, and I just found a solution
(perhaps not universal, but can help surely)

I firts tried to fool KDE by copying /usr/lib/kde3/kcm_arts.la to
/usr/lib/kde3/libkcm_arts.la and the same thing for the kcm_arts.so
 
 When I lauched "kcmshell arts" after this trick, it don't works either
... but the error message was totally different !!
 
 It was speaking about a problem with "libGL.so" ...
 
 In fact I had a bad version of OpenGL, an old locally installed
version.
 
 I removed it and reinstalled the last version (1.0.5336) for my Debian
Sarge.
 
 and ... it works 

(to confirm it, I removed my "pseudo" libkcm_arts.* , and it works the
same)
 
 So, perhaps you have a different problem (an other lib than GL missing
or too old) but the little trick (renaming kcm_arts.*) could help you to
have a better diagnostic.
 
 Very strange isn't it ?
