I think this mornings rawhide update broke some stuff bad, my machine won't boot
into X anymore. I believe I have tracked down the problem to this..
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol
cairo_xlib_surface_create
Reading the fedora-devel-list article about this rawhide update, the
problem is due to two packages, cairo-1.2.2-1 and pango-1.14.0-2.
To solve the problem, I downloaded the original FC6T2 packages from an
FTP mirror
(ftp://redhat.secsup.org/pub/linux/redhat/fedora/core/test/5.91/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS)
to a directory on my FC6T2 partition using another Linux system
installed on my hard drive.
These packages are cairo-1.2.0-2.i386.rpm and pango-1.13.4-2.i386.rpm.
Then I booted to FC6T2 and logged into a console with Alt-F1 as root,
changed to the directory where I had saved them, and ran
rpm --oldpackage --force -ivh <the original package names>
This left me with two versions of each package installed, so I had to
rpm -e pango-1.14.0-2
rpm -e cairo-1.2.2-1
This order is required because pango depends on the cairo version.
I then successfully booted into X in FC6T2.
Others probably know a less clumsy way not requiring the two rpm -e
actions at the end.
