I think that this is the real problem, I do not use apt, and I have had this 
problem updating with YaST - packages are still requesting libcairo.so.1, 
which the new cairo does not provide (it provides libcairo.so.2 - soft 
linking does not work, because it looks in the rpm db "provides" rather). So 
it seems either wait for a cairo package which provides both, or wait till 
all packages have been rebuilt against the new cairo packages. (Or of course, 
do not update :( )
Cheers,
