--- Begin Message ---Package: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 Version: 2.30.6-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * What led up to the situation: During an upgrade of libgdk-pixbuf2.0.0: 2014-03-23 10:12:36 upgrade libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 2.28.2-1+b1 2.30.6-1 I saw the following messages about loaders.cache, which had happened on earlier upgrades of this library and are described in bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625203 : (gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0:10228): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loa ders.cache': No such file or directory This likely means that your installation is broken. Try running the command gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache to make things work again for the time being. Setting up libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common (2.30.6-1) ... Setting up libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 (2.30.6-1) ... Segmentation fault In the past these errors got resolved towards the end of the install, the loaders.cache was created and icons and images appeared properly when X restarted. This time the segmentation fault prevented this from happening, although dpkg still reported the status of this package as ^ii, so there was no indication this package was not properly installed. * What was the outcome of this action: All icons and background images in X failed to appear; some applications like the parole music player did not start because they failed to load icons Workaround: I manually ran: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache and then did an: apt-get --reinstall install libgdk-pixbuf2.0.0. This fixed the problem In the past, although I did get the warning about loaders.cache, I never had a seg fault and gdk-pixbuf always ended up correctly installed. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 depends on: ii libc6 2.18-4 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common 2.30.6-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.38.2-5 ii libjasper1 1.900.1-14 ii libjpeg8 8d-2 ii libpng12-0 1.2.50-1 ii libtiff5 4.0.3-7 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii multiarch-support 2.18-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 recommends no packages. libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
