I first noticed the bug when I ran bleachbit:

akurei@pantalaimon: ~ $ bleachbit
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bleachbit", line 40, in <module>
import gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>
from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates

I first thought it must be my pyenv and then tried:

akurei@pantalaimon: ~ $ pyenv version
system (set by /home/akurei/.config/pyenv/version)
akurei@pantalaimon: ~ $ python2 --version
Python 2.7.13

But it seems to be the system one. pacman is fully updated and I have rebooted twice. Next thing I tried was:


akurei@pantalaimon: ~ $ python2
Python 2.7.13 (default, Dec 21 2016, 07:16:46)
[GCC 6.2.1 20160830] on linux2

>>>

... then ...
