Bug#923289: Cannot install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 inside an armhf chroot

[Christopher Obbard]

Package: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
Version: 2.38.0+dfsg-7


installing the package under an armhf chroot on amd64 results in the
following error, the package is not configured properly and leads to
icons missing from the desktop environment.

The fix was to run the following commands (not in chroot -- on the
real hardware):

$ apt-get --reinstall install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
$ update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Note this previously worked about ~6 months ago.

Cheers!
