Re: FreeType upgrade => apps linked against libttf.so need to be rebuilt

[Rodney Dawes <dobey novell com>]

This is a bug in the Fedora packaging then. They've been packaging
freetype 1 & 2 in the same RPM since before Fedora. If they're not
doing so any more, they probably have good reason to, such as nothing
in the distro needs freetype 1 any longer, which seems likely. You
should file a bug in the Fedora bugzilla, I think.
