Hello asala, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gdk-pixbuf into precise-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-
pixbuf/2.26.1-1ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Segfault (core dumped) in gdk-pixbuf on upgrade

Status in pixbuf library for gtk+:
  Fix Released
Status in “gdk-pixbuf” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gdk-pixbuf” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Description ]

  In the Raring cycle, libgobject gained a global constructor.

  If a dynamically loaded module (by gdk-pixbuf-query-modules, which is
  called by a postinst trigger in this package, so quite common on
  upgrades) happens to dlclose() libgobject then we get this crash.

  This can easily happen in dist-upgrades if you get unlucky with the
  ordering.

  [ Proposed fix ]

  Build with -Wl,--no-as-needed to ensure we get linked against
  libgobject even though we use none of its symbols.

  In later glib & gdk-pixbuf releases, there's a function
  g_type_ensure() which is used for this purpose, but we don't have that
  in 12.04.

  [ Development Fix ]

  Described above: g_type_ensure() is used.

  [ Regression potential ]

  Not sure. The library will now be linked against more things so it
  could be a bit slower to initialise.

  [ QA ]

  1. Be in a precise chroot without precise-proposed
  2. apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
  3. sed -i 's/precise/trusty/' /etc/apt/sources.list
  4. apt-get update
  5. apt-get install libglib2.0-0
  6. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders # or 
your arch here
  # that should have segfaulted
  7. echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-proposed main' | tee -a 
/etc/apt/sources.list
  8. apt-get update
  9. apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0/precise-proposed
  10. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders # or 
your arch here
  # that should have worked

  [ Original description ]

  In two machines I had errors in the upgrade from Precise to Raring.

  I guess that due to that error, the gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders crashes
  later in the installation process.
