It looks like a result of FreeType's housecleaning..  The latest
versions of freetype removed the public install of old internal headers,
which half the projects on the Internet (it seems) used.  They were
never supposed to, but they did.  Result: many packages are broken.
Installing an older freetype (2.1.x I believe) is an intermediate fix;
otherwise, there are patches from freetype's website for some packages,
and many packages have appropriate fixes already.

It's been a while since I looked into this, so I don't remember details,
but that should give you a starting point.
