reassign 801170 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 thanks Hi,
I tried a slight variation of your instruction: host$ fallocate -l 10G testimg host$ /sbin/mkfs.ext4 testimg host$ mkdir /tmp/mount host$ mount testimg /tmp/mount host$ sudo /usr/sbin/debootstrap --variant=minbase unstable /tmp/mount host$ echo 'APT::Install-Recommends "0";' | sudo tee "/tmp/mount/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99no-install-recommends" > /dev/null host$ Xephyr -listen tcp :1 & host$ sudo chroot /tmp/mount chroot# apt-get install awesome chroot# DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:1 awesome Via this, I can reproduce the problem (same error message). Looking at this via strace, I noticed this tries to load mime information. Thus, I had the following idea: host$ sudo cp /usr/share//mime/mime.cache /tmp/mount/usr/share/mime/mime.cache The above command makes everything work here. Looking at gdk-pixbuf's source, I can see that it has its own, internal mime information implementation, but it defaults to using the mime information available. Apparently something is wrong here. Hence I reassign this to libgdk-pibxuf. The file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache says the following about PNG files: "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so" "png" 5 "gdk-pixbuf" "PNG" "LGPL" "image/png" "" "png" "" "\211PNG\r\n\032\n" "" 100 The background.png file that this issue is about begins with: \211PNG\r\n\32\n\0\0\0\rIHDR\0\0\10\0\0\0\6\0\10\2\0\0\0m I don't really understand the loaders.cache's file format, but to me this looks like it should match.
