It gets ugly with library conflicts, so more libraries available on the system should be used instead of ones shipped by Sage, e.g. freetype is a good example. Freetype may be used by R packages, and they in turn might depend on other system libraries we don't even know about, cf. e.g. #27163.

Ticket closed as duplicate after the corresponding changes were integrated in #27825.

Depends on #27186
