Dear Maintainer,

On a laptop that's used by someone who may have not ensured proper shutdown
possibly during upgrades, I encountered the following situation. Please note
that dpkg states were all clean and the machine was stuck in the described
situation. Also, debsums was all ok.

gnome-shell icons were showing the gear wheel in the launcher, and in
notifications and in many other places. gnome-games were crashing after
displaying many GTK warnings such as:

    Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/foo/bar.svg'

I fixed the problem on this particular machine with the following command:

    $ sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders \
        --update-cache

and close/open user session.

I suspect ignoring error in the cache update script may have something to do
with this problem, and I would expect a failed trigger/postinst flashes to
the system administrator, probably prompting for a "apt --fix-broken install".

debian/libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0.postinst.in:

            /usr/lib/#MULTIARCH#/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders \
                $(find $LOADERS_DIR $LOADERS_DIR_OLD -name *.so 2> /dev/null | LC_ALL=C sort) \
            > /usr/lib/#MULTIARCH#/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache || true
                                                                       ^^^^^^^
