Thanks for the heads-up. I found myself referring to your post after rebooting and nothing worked. It is possible to fix this without copying the .so from an older installation -- just downgrade the package. This is how I solved the issue: # dpkg --force-depends -r libxft2 # wget \ http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xft/libxft2_2.1.7-1_i386.deb # dpkg -i libxft2_2.1.7-1_i386.deb # echo libxft2 hold | dpkg --set-selections Go back to KDM, CTRL+ALT+BKSP, and all is well. Note that you'll want to unhold libxft2 (echo libxft2 install | dpkg --set-selections) after this is fixed. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d-(--) s:- a--->?
