This is why you don't reinstall *applications* and such from backup
tapes, at least when they were built on previous/different underlying
operating systems.  Looks like pygtk is expecting a different freetype
library than what you have on the system, and if pygtk and freetype are
the correct ones as installed with a 12.2 system, that can't happen.
