Cannot startx after Fedora 26 upgrade. Infinality issue.
So as the title says I have upgraded to Fedora 26 but now cannot start x (or Wayland) from the cli.
The error message is /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinate
Some googling convinced me that the issue relates to the infinality-ultimate font related packages.
In this blog post the solution is to reinstall freestyle and to remove freetype-freeworld.
I can do the first part but when I try the second dnf wants to remove 6gb of packages.
Other posters advise downgrading freetype-freeworld but this doesn't work either.
Any suggestions?
rpm -e freetype-freeworld
When I try that I get "error : package freetype-freeworld is not installed". But still if I try to remove it dnf offers to take out ~6gb.
This looks like a conflict between freetype and freetype-freeworld. Which one do you have installed?
