libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 error, how to resolve

I have suddenly started to experience the error



symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_ft_font_options_substitute


I noticed this when my adobe reader could no longer open. When I run



acroread


I get the above error. I also noticed that



vi filename


gives the same error, but



sudo vi filename


opens filename for editing.



sudo acroread


on the other hand tells me "Adobe Reader does not need to be run as a privileged user. Please remove 'sudo' from the beginning of the command".



I have googled this error but cannot find a solution. I have tried



conda install cairo


Cairo installs (and is already installed from source anyway), but the error persists.
I am working on ubuntu 18.10.
