I am using Debian Squeeze and I wanted to install Gimp 2.8. I installed a lot packages dependencies for Gimp but I could not successfully complete the install of the Gimp package
When installing the Gimp dependent packages, I think I broke a necessary package because now I am getting the following error when I try to start thunar, gedit and more.
Code:
symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_has_show_text_glyphs
My sourc.list file's content at below but I did not install gimp by apt-get:
Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib non-free main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib
I downloaded gimp source package and I tried to compile. I install a lot dependency packages for gimp but I can't successfully complete.
I do not know which package is causing the error but I tried to install below packages:

Your sources.list appears to be missing the security repo which is quite an important one - add this to the end of your sources:
Code:
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

I see one .deb package there (from where?), the rest look like source tarballs? If you've installed that lot, then it's possible that the same files which are provided by debian packages have been overwritten - hence you have a broken system. You should try reinstalling all the versions of those packages from the repos using apt-get.
I don't remember I download from where but I am guessing that I download the package from debian packages
I reinstalled all the packages with apt-get and checked the packages' version that same with the package's default version on squeeze but I am getting same error again.
