Going to reassigning to debconf, while it's gtk not handling when loaders are not configured that's during-update issue where the system is in inconsistent state and I'm unsure GTK itself is where to fix the problem
it had been discussed a bit on https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2020/04/21 /%23ubuntu-release.html#t16:15 debconf handles GTK failing, but that's not a clear failure case, the error is hit when trying to load icons ... one way to address this would perhaps be to make debconf try to do that and fallback as well if it's failing. Reassigning to foundation and tagging rls-ff-incoming since that's a common case of upgrade failure ** Package changed: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Tags added: rls-ff-incoming -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627564 Title: Debconf crash due to assertion failure in ensure_surface_for_gicon [gtkiconhelper.c:493] (when png loader is missing/during upgrades) Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/2b11576fed59ad23c640bc85a266cc82ec30a689 https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/9d612b3f25168e76adb91fa4eedc301ffa632383 --- bubble opened up indicating there was a failure during the latest update.
