As just said in a previous post, I am using lenny and lately upgraded
it. Firefox/Iceweasel fails to start since then:

towncat@murandy:~$ firefox
/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin: Symbol `SSL_ImplementedCiphers' has
different size in shared object, consider re-linking

I see this message as well (Sid, iceweasel 2.0.0.11-1), but my iceweasel
seems to run normally otherwise. This is probably harmless.

Segmentation fault

Try this:

$ export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO="true"
$ iceweasel -safe-mode

If it still does not work try the same from a pristine user account.

Thanks, it did help. Actually, I didn't even need the -safe-mode
switch.

So what does (or does not, as the case is) pango do?

Tc.

OK, now iceweasel runs, but I realised that there is more to it,
something to do with fonts and pango. When I start non-kde
applications under kde, I get little squares instead of fonts.

The output is like this (for xsane, here):

xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font,
expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 10'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font,
expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 12.5'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.

Ideas, anyone?
