Description:

After I upgraded harfbuzz to 1.4.1-1, opening png device in an R console outputs the following error:

Warning messages:
1: In grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") :
unable to load shared object '/usr/lib64/R/library/grDevices/libs//cairo.so':
/usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates
2: In grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") :
failed to load cairo DLL

Downgrading extra/harfbuzz to 1.3.4-1 and extra/harfbuzz-icu to 1.3.4-1 solves the problem.

Steps to reproduce:

In an R console:
> png("foo.png")
This task depends upon
