I'm not sure--there's been conflicts between the libraries from the freetype packages and the freetype libraries from X11/XFree86 for a while. It seems to have gotten worse with Panther.
You can put freetype back now that gtk+2 is built.

That did the trick. Thanks, Alex.
Do you have any idea what causes this problem?
Now that GTK+2 is updated, is it safe to reinstall freetype? I have packages that depend on it.
The situation is not quite as bad as that. True, this whole freetype business is a big mess, and I am the first to keep complaining about it, but concerning freetype2 on Panther, there shouldn't be big problems now. As it says in the freetype2-2.1.3-11 info:
The freetype2 package now exists only for compatibility with older Fink packages. Developers should use the freetype that is part of XFree86 for new packages.
This means you can install freetype2-shlibs safely if it is still needed. You can also install freetype2, it doesn't contain any active files any more. No packages in 10.3/unstable depend on freetype2 any more (or they shouldn't, anyway).
The compatibility problems (apart from the big one between freetype and freetype2 headers that isn't going to go away) concern mainly older package versions. Unfortunately, 10.3/stable is still largely populated by these "older" versions. But the whole 10.3 tree is still far from settled down, and the "stable" tree looks less stable to me in several respects than the "unstable" right now.
