A bit of a Google around notes this bug report in Debian:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg525115.html
which basically says that this is probably caused by libfreetype issues.

The libfreetype.so.6 is contained in both the aaa_elflibs and libfreetype
packages:
$ grep libfreetype.so.6 /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/aaa_elflibs-12.2.0-i486-1:usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
/var/log/packages/freetype-2.3.7-i486-1:usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18

So, your restoring a libfreetype from your backups, or maybe you've got an old
version of one of those packages still lying around. I'd try doing a "$ locate
libfreetype" and see what you get.
