Bug#326259: PNG pixbuf loader broken on PowerPC

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.6.10
Severity: important

Upgrading from 2.6.8 to either 2.6.10 or 2.8.x breaks PNG loader.

(gcalctool:12295): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Bug! gdk-pixbuf loader 'png'
didn't set an error on failure.
libpng error: Call to NULL read function

XPM loader works fine, I'm not sure about others.
Simply replacing /usr/lib/gtk2-0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so
with one coming from 2.6.8 .deb solved the problem. 2.6.9 worked fine as
far as I can remember.

I can't reproduce that on i386 system, though. On monday I'll check if
it is broken on other PPC systems as well.
