Thanks for this investigation. I'll have to see how long the rest of the desktop continues running with an old version of such a critical library....
+1, thanks Nicolas!
The magic formula is: $ wget http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20130927T214600Z/pool/main/c/cairo... $ sudo dpkg -i libcairo2_1.12.14-4_amd64.deb
While it lasts.
Sooner rather than later, an updated package elsewhere in sid/testing is going to need the updated cairo which underpins all of GTK (Gnome, XFCE, LXDE, Mint etc.). The better solution will be a wheezy chroot with a browser installed and using X forwarding.
what I'm using is just a wheezy chroot + schroot -p:
#!/bin/sh
schroot -p -c hangout -- /usr/bin/chromium
If we could see the source code for google-talkplugin, it could be fixed....
Not going to happen ...
