Bug#742430: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386: segmentation fault when upgrading libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386

[js]

Package: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
Version: 2.30.6-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation:
During an upgrade of libgdk-pixbuf2.0.0:
    2014-03-23 10:12:36 upgrade libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 2.28.2-1+b1 2.30.6-1

I saw the following messages about loaders.cache, which had happened on earlier
upgrades of this library and are described in bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625203 :

    (gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0:10228): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loa
ders.cache': No such file or directory

    This likely means that your installation is broken.
    Try running the command
      gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
    to make things work again for the time being.
    Setting up libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common (2.30.6-1) ...
    Setting up libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 (2.30.6-1) ...
    Segmentation fault

In the past these errors got resolved towards the end of the install, the loaders.cache
was created and icons and images appeared properly when X restarted.

This time the segmentation fault prevented this from happening, although dpkg still
reported the status of this package as ^ii, so there was no indication this package
was not properly installed.

   * What was the outcome of this action:
All icons and background images in X failed to appear; some applications like the
parole music player did not start because they failed to load icons

Workaround: I manually ran:
  gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

and then did an: apt-get --reinstall install libgdk-pixbuf2.0.0. This fixed the problem

In the past, although I did get the warning about loaders.cache, I never had a seg fault
and gdk-pixbuf always ended up correctly installed.
