None.  /usr/local is for *local* system-specific software compiled by
the system admin and typically *not* packaged.

NO, NO, NO.  

/usr/local is where *applications* go.  Don't restore them from backup
if they were built on an older version of Slackware.  Among the
problems you'll encounter are missing and unresolved symbols in
libraries.

This is why you don't reinstall *applications* and such from backup
tapes, at least when they were built on previous/different underlying
operating systems.  Looks like pygtk is expecting a different freetype
library than what you have on the system, and if pygtk and freetype are
the correct ones as installed with a 12.2 system, that can't happen.

Timothy,

  I didn't catch that; thank you.


The libfreetype.so.6 is contained in both the aaa_elflibs and libfreetype
packages:
$ grep libfreetype.so.6 /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/aaa_elflibs-12.2.0-i486-1:usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
/var/log/packages/freetype-2.3.7-i486-1:usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18

So, your restoring a libfreetype from your backups, or maybe you've got an old
version of one of those packages still lying around. I'd try doing a "$ locate
libfreetype" and see what you get.


  Here's what I had: /usr/lib/libfreetype-6.3.18 and /usr/local/lib/6.3.8
from 2005, with soft links from Friday. I've removed the earlier versions
and ran ldconfig.

  I'll fix the broken links before testing more.

Many thanks for the pointer!

Rich

  Good question, Scott! I find a lot of broken links in /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/lib that I'll fix right after dinner.

  I'll post results when I have some.

Thanks again,

Rich

Scott,

  Yes. The restore default is to not overwrite disk files with the same or
newer mtimes. We suspect that somehow a file on tape had a newer time than
the one on disk. I did not pick specific applications because I did not have
a separate list of those.

  I can always re-install stock -12.2 apps that go in /usr/local/ if I can
identify which ones do so.

Thanks,

Rich

A bit of a Google around notes this bug report in Debian:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-d...@lists.debian.org/msg525115.html
which basically says that this is probably caused by libfreetype issues.

The libfreetype.so.6 is contained in both the aaa_elflibs and libfreetype
packages:
$ grep libfreetype.so.6 /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/aaa_elflibs-12.2.0-i486-1:usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
/var/log/packages/freetype-2.3.7-i486-1:usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18

So, your restoring a libfreetype from your backups, or maybe you've got an old
version of one of those packages still lying around. I'd try doing a "$ locate
libfreetype" and see what you get.
