You probably don't care now that you got it working, but unless you have been careless with a sudo command, that file can normally only be removed by the package that installed it. $ apt-file search /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache This would tell you which package owns the file. It was probably an update to that package which caused it. But actually you can see it is the gdk-pixbuf-2.0 package from the path name. Maybe this package was updated? But then I would have to dig deeper to see what maintainer scripts might be run to update/add/delete that cache file when something is updated. Anyway - you fixed it!
