Package: libharfbuzz0b Version: 6.0.0+dfsg-3 Followup-For: Bug #1023566 Running their binary executable directly:
$ ./bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow ./bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Transform libharfbuzz.so.0 declares it needs libfreetype.so.6 The problem is that Matlab provides its own copy of libfreetype.so.6 (libfreetype.so.6.16.0). Removing that allows the matlab installer to proceed. But also that just brings Matlab closer to its next problem. Now it's not accepting keyboard input to type in the email address to start the install process. This whole fiasco provides just a little more affirmation that I'm doing the right thing teaching students python + numpy/scipy instead of Matlab.
