[Cooker] After last cooker update apps unable to understand png file format

[Steve Morris-5]

After the last cooker update applications like firestarter, smart,
rpmdrake and drakconf are unable to start because they are unable to
interpret png image files. Thunderbird and firefox have the same issue
but are able to run by replacing the file image they can't read with a
default. Do I need to reinstall a package that may have been updated to
rectify this, and if so which one?

The error message from smart is:

Couldn't recognise the image file format for file
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/interfaces/images/smart.png'

The error messages from rpmdrake are:

Error loading theme icon 'gtk-missing-image' for stock: Unrecognised
image file format
Couldn't recognise the image file format for file
'/usr/lib/libDrakX/icons/drakbug-16.png' at /usr/lib/libDrakX/mygtk2.pm
line 294.

regards,
Steve

A reinstall of libpng3 does not rectify this situation. How do I

identify what package/module is not working properly?

Just the usual stuff. Use strace to try and track dl loading etc.

Thanks Col, I will try this on drakconf, but it may take me a while to
figure it out as I have never used strace before.

Steve

Col, it seems like whatever was causing this has been updated to only

work properly with KDE4, as an install of KDE4 seems to have rectified
the issue.

Steve

False alarm, drakconf still refuses to run because of this failure. I

will run an strace on it if I can figure out how to.

Try running as root :

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders.lib

Thankyou Pascal, that seems to have rectified the issue. How does one

know in a situation like this that a command like this needs to be run?

Steve

I had the issue (on monday I think) and this is supposed to have been
already fixed since, the gdk-pixbuf rpm was installed before the new
version of glib so the postinstall script (running that command)
failed

If this is what caused my problem, I wouldn't have seen the failure, as

this issue occurred as a result of an overnight cooker update that
updated/installed 1740 packages.

Steve

this command is run just after the gdkpixbuf package is installed, if
glib is updated after (even if it is during the same urpmi run), it
will fail

Thanks Pascal, I didn't see this as I was running the update in

unattended mode.
