Fine!

I see that your fix, apart from the update, is:

-CONFIGURE_ARGS += --without-harfbuzz
+EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS += --without-harfbuzz

What's the difference? I copied my line from another project and it 
"worked" because I checked that the parameter was correctly passed and 
freetype was built without harfbuzz (although I couldn't verify the 
package yesterday).


Does your update mean dependent packages need to be rebuilt? I 
configured gnustep against the installed "broken" freetype.


Emergency situation solved?

I fixed freetype and updated harfbuzz and pushed everything and all should be 
fine now.
Also unstable/ has been updated to have the latest pushed packages.

This won’t help, unfortunately, as you would still get cyclic dependency on 
shared libs.

That seems to be the right action for now.

I’ll have a look and push the fixed packages.

I am not sure. I could have noticed by having a better look at the cron logs.
