That sounds more like you got a wrong version of FreeType2.  Noticably, Dia
doesn't itself use FT_Get_PDF_Property, so it may be that some other
package (Pango, perchance) requires a higher version of FreeType2 than you
have, but doesn't check properly for it (FT2 has notoriously poor version
handling).
