The gnome meta package looks like the wrong package this bug was filed against. This sounds like the gdk-pixbuf trigger was not run successfully. There have been some bugs in dpkg recently (which are now fixed) which made some triggers not be run due to dependency cycles [1]. prioryc, have you seen such a message like this during the upgrade? Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.0.2-2) ... dpkg: cycle found while processing triggers: chain of packages whose triggers are or may be responsible: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 -> doc-base packages' pending triggers which are or may be unresolvable: doc-base: /usr/share/doc-base menu: /usr/share/menu libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders hal: /usr/share/hal/fdi dpkg: error processing package doc-base (--unpack): triggers looping, abandoned Those bug reports started to pop up around 15t Oct and it was fixed by a dpkg upload on 20 Oct.
