lxde.xml: icons missing from desktop in X applications

[obbardc]

Cannot install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 inside an armhf chroot.

Package: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
Version: 2.38.0+dfsg-7

installing the package under an armhf chroot on amd64 results in the following error, the package is not configured properly and leads to icons missing from the desktop environment.

Setting up libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:armhf (2.38.0+dfsg-7) ...

(process:21627): GLib-ERROR **: 20:50:46.361: getauxval () failed: No such file or directory
qemu: uncaught target signal 5 (Trace/breakpoint trap) - core dumped
Trace/breakpoint trap

The fix was to run the following commands (not in chroot -- on the real hardware):

$ apt-get --reinstall install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
$ update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Note this previously worked about ~6 months ago.

Thanks for filing this in Debian @obbardc :-)

Since the reinstallation works on the target system, could be there is a dependency package of libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 which is not fully ready inside the chroot. Maybe the database in shared-mime-info ?

I reckon this is more of a chroot thing, maybe the qemu-arm translator is not working correctly.

Maybe related to 64studio/pdk-mediagen#19....

Note this is also reported upstream to Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923289

Thanks for reporting this. I see the same thing: update-mime-database appears to generate corrupted globs when run under an armhf chroot on x86_64. Running the same command on the target arch fixes it.

Did you find a fix or workaround?

Hi @benp44 we now use dibby: https://github.com/64studio/dibby to generate our OS images which doesn't have this issue, so this issue has kind of been superseded.
