Bug#230533: libgtk2.0-common: update-gdkpixbuf-loaders fails due to undefined symbol: deflate

[Jérémie Banier]

Package: libgtk2.0-common
Version: 2.2.4-2
Severity: normal


when the installation / user tries to run update-gdkpixbuf-loaders, it
cause the program to fail with the follozing ouput:
unclefry:~# update-gdkpixbuf-loaders
Updating the gdk-pixbuf loaders list for GTK+-2.2.0...g_module_open()
failed for  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so:
/usr/local/lib/libpng12. so.0: undefined symbol: deflate
done.
As a consequence many gnome application cannot display png icon / button
properly and give an error like Unrecognized file format ...
Luckily a work around exist, if you export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libz.so
and then run the command it will do what it is supposed to do ...
