This bug was fixed in the package gdk-pixbuf - 2.26.1-1ubuntu1.1
---------------
gdk-pixbuf (2.26.1-1ubuntu1.1) precise; urgency=medium
* Link with -Wl,--no-as-needed so that we get linked against libgobject,
avoiding crashes when modules load and unload newer versions of libgobject
which have a global constructor. (LP: #1174253)

Bug description:
[ Description ]
In the Raring cycle, libgobject gained a global constructor.
If a dynamically loaded module (by gdk-pixbuf-query-modules, which is
called by a postinst trigger in this package, so quite common on
upgrades) happens to dlclose() libgobject then we get this crash.
This can easily happen in dist-upgrades if you get unlucky with the
ordering.
[ Proposed fix ]
Build with -Wl,--no-as-needed to ensure we get linked against
libgobject even though we use none of its symbols.
In later glib & gdk-pixbuf releases, there's a function
g_type_ensure() which is used for this purpose, but we don't have that
in 12.04.
[ Development Fix ]
Described above: g_type_ensure() is used.
[ Regression potential ]
Not sure. The library will now be linked against more things so it
could be a bit slower to initialise.
[ QA ]
1. Be in a precise chroot without precise-proposed
2. apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
3. sed -i 's/precise/trusty/' /etc/apt/sources.list
4. apt-get update
5. apt-get install libglib2.0-0
6. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders # or
your arch here
# that should have segfaulted
7. echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-proposed main' | tee -a
/etc/apt/sources.list
8. apt-get update
9. apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0/precise-proposed
10. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders # or
your arch here
# that should have worked

In two machines I had errors in the upgrade from Precise to Raring.

I guess that due to that error, the gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders crashes
later in the installation process.
