 We need to know what packages were installed on your system when this
 error occurred.

 Frankly, we (maintainers of Gtk software) discussed this on IRC and
 couldn't find a possible way of getting such a borken system.

 libpangoft is correctly versionned in the library and in the package so
 that it is theoritically impossible to use the mix a version A library
 with a program wanting version B and vice-versa.

 In order for us to diagnose the bug you experienced and be sure that
 it's not a breakage of your system caused by the update path you've
 choosen, we need either:
 - the versions of the packages prior to the breakage, during the
   breakage, and after the breakage,
 - or a way to reproduce it ourselves.

 (I happen to use a stable/testing system, and I could install gftp on
 it and run it without problem.)


 Please update your report with the informations I mention.
