Firstly purged: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
Then removed:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
and replaced it with a loaders.cache empty file in that directory as
was the case when I hit the wall.
Rebooted and discovered that my system wasn't quite as damaged as it
was in the first instance. Claws-mail actually worked gkrellm wasn't
there and couldn't be brought up though as previously and icons had a
red "x" in a black outline as previously.
I then ran as root:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders>
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
And rebooted.
The loaders.cache file was 4573, is that bytes? Whereas the former on
was 4572 bytes or whatever it is.
So it worked a treat, and thank you Tom, you allowed me to get rid of a
lot of "dev stuff" I didn't need on my system.
However, I am still grateful to Ralf, as he got me up and running
quickly and my system was almost but not quite a basket case when he
did that.
Thanks again to you both,
Charlie
