My conclusion from this message:
http://cluedenver.org/pipermail/clue-tech/2009-November/022033.html

Is that synaptic is installed. A command line invocation seems to cause
at least the start of instantiating a window (Gtk complaining about
config items, non-fatal), and end with a fatal symbol lookup error. A bit
later, Bill posted the output of ls -o /usr/lib/libpango* showing that at
least there are appropriate symbolic links for the libraries which seem
to be in play here. I have some suspicion of incorrect library versions,
but I don't know how to debug that.

I would be curious to know whether either of the suggestions I made here:
http://cluedenver.org/pipermail/clue-tech/2009-November/022034.html
could possibly resolve something like that. I can't think of any possible
breakage worse than the current situation happening from either
reinstalling or reconfiguring.
