In testing out an extension on the base system, I encountered the following issue:
"pango-querymodules: error while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Pango is unable to execute its querymodules script due to the absence of libXft. Loading libXft prior to loading pango solves this.
I noticed that the dependencies for 64-bit pango changed from the 32-bit version in that the dependencies for the 32-bit extension include Xorg-7.7-lib.tcz, which loads libXft. This has been replaced in the 64-bit extension by a dependency on cairo, which does not load libXft.
I am wondering if libXft should be added to the dependency list for the 64-bit pango?
