i would personally try creating a symlink from /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.5.0 to /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 outwardly this would appear to be lying about versions, but often it doesn't actually care. if that doesn't resolve problems, you may be able to find another older compat-expat package...

Thanx for quick answer. Unfortunately this link already exists..

Edit:
hmm.. after reading your post acouple of more times I started thinking.. do you mean the other way around maybe?..

the link clearly doesn't exist at all, re read your ls output... i guess you could read it as the other way round, essentially it's a case of running "ln -s /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.5.0 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0"

my bad.. aparently its still too early for me
I made the link and now I'm one step closer to solution!!
thank you very much for your awareness and working eyesight!!
