Description Roman 2011-10-14 01:45:56 UTC

After reinstall gdk-pixbuf does not generate
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
GTK applications fail to load any images, e.g. no icons in menus, eog does not recognize any image etc.

Solved by running manually
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. reinstall gdk-pixbuf
Actual Results:  
GTK+ applications do not show images/icons.

Expected Results:  
GTK+ applications should show images/icons.

gdk-pixbuf-2.22.1-r2
gtk+-2.24.4

You will need to provide a build.log of emerge run that fails to generate it

Anyway I think this fix could solve it:

  03 Oct 2011; Fabio Erculiani <lxnay@gentoo.org> gdk-pixbuf-2.22.1-r2.ebuild,
  gdk-pixbuf-2.23.5.ebuild, gdk-pixbuf-2.24.0.ebuild,
  gdk-pixbuf-2.24.0-r1.ebuild:
  make gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders more atomic, fix segfault due to
  __GL_NO_DSO_FINALIZER=1 in environment

I am having the same problem.  This system has not been updated in a long time. Here is an excerpt from the end of the emerge output:

mktemp: unrecognized option '--suffix=gdk_pixbuf_ebuild'
Try `mktemp --help' for more information.
/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf-2.24.0-r1/temp/environment: line 2748: : No such file or directory
 * Cannot update loaders.cache, gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders failed to run

It appears that it requires a newer version of mktemp than my system had.  I had coreutils-7.5-r1 on their at the time of the error.

I updated to coreutils-8.7 and now mktemp supports the --suffix option and gdk-pixbuf emerges without a problem.

I checked as far back as coreutils-8.1 and suffix is an option there.  7.6 seems to be the newest 7 series, and that one does not have the suffix option.  I think a dependency on coreutils>=8 needs to be added to gdk-pixbuf to solve this completely.

Thanks,
Rick

It has been over a month since I posted this and no one has updated this entry.

However, gdk-pixbuf-2.24.1 was added to portage on Dec 31st and it has >=sys-apps/coreutils-8.5 in DEPEND so I assume this should resolve the issue.
