Did you read my bug report?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742875
Was it the same package that caused the messages?
Although, I didn't state it explicitly, I thought the message was a bit
of a "cop out" like yourself¹. But to top it all off it asked me to run a
command which didn't even exist on my system, as though I was expected
to jump through hoops myself. Also, considering that I don't even know
what this gdk-pixbuf-2.0 program is for, (I've never messed with it.) I
thought that maybe my setup uncovered a bug in the upgrade process
(after all, remember we are running testing -- helping the project to
test for bugs and reporting them when we do find them.) since I don't
run a DE, and maybe hicolor-icon-theme expects one.
I reported that bug a month ago, not even an acknowledgment from the
maintainer. It looks like it hasn't even been looked at. Now, from what
you have posted regarding booting problems (I'm not even sure if I've
rebooted myself since then -- unfortunately I'd have too many things to
restart to test it at the moment -- but if I did, I'd raise the bug
level.) Hence the reason I asked if could add anything to it. Was it
even caused by "Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.13-1)"? If
not, then add that also.
¹ I mean that you think the same! NOT that you're a cop out! :)
