There are actually, starting with the version above, for general testing. > After upgrading libgtk2.0-0, all PNG-using applications stopped showing > the images - file chooser icons, new windows' icons, gqview, etc. Error > message is (translated from Bulgarian): > > (gqview:27100): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon for stock: > Image loading module - > /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so can't be loaded: > /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: cannot open > shared object file: No such file or directory This is puzzling. libpixbufloader-png.so is shipped by libgtk2.0-0 itself, and it works fine here. Beside, I don't see where the "2.4.0" version comes from if you upgraded to libgtk2.0-0. Gtk 2.10 uses a new module ABI, version 2.10.0. For a dynamically linked application, such as gqview which Depends on libgtk2.0-0, starting the application should load the new library which should find its own modules... Or perhaps did you mean that the application was running while you upgraded Gtk? > Manually running /usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/update-gdkpixbuf-loaders made them > all work again. This is surprizing. Your applications should be working with the new Gtk without this. Actually, the new Gtk does not require any file in /etc at all. > I think postinst of 2.10 is missing the following lines, currently > present in 2.8.20-1's postinst: > /usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/update-gtk-immodules > /usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/update-gdkpixbuf-loaders This was removed on purpose. The only explanation for your problem I see is that you started an application with the old Gtk, upgraded Gtk, and did stuff with the application started before the upgrade which required loading a module. Is this correct? I think such a scenario is relatively hard to support, but I welcome ideas to support it. One way I see to support it is to refuse upgrades when some blacklisted applications are running. Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
