fontconfig pango regression.

I can't start lxde right now due to fontconfig and pango not being build to each other so each depending on a different version of the other. Can we update whichever needs updating (or both).

Re: fontconfig pango regression.

You currently have to downgrade pango and ignore it during updates. The whole stack above depends on an old pango version.

Re: fontconfig pango regression.

Yes that worked, but not really a solution. Suspect I'll just try switching from 32bit to 64bit (bios is 32bit, but cpu is 64bit - but a bit of a mare to get the machine to migrate, 32bit grub should be able to launch a 64bit kernel, but it doesn't get dance)
