Hello!

After the following upgrade:

    [UPGRADE] libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0:amd64 2.44.4+dfsg-1 -> 2.44.5+dfsg-3

the 'volumeicon' program (shipped by Debian package 'volumeicon-alsa')
can run, but fails to become visible in the systray, thus failing to
be of any use.

Downgrading libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 to version 2.44.4+dfsg-1 makes 'volumeicon'
work again as usual.

Please investigate and fix this bug and/or forward the bug report upstream,
as appropriate.

Thanks for your time and dedication!

Dear Maintainer,

Evince fails to start. Probably it is due to the same problem with
libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0.

I'm reassigning to volumeicon for now. Debian's gdk-pixbuf 2.44.5
switched to glycin to provide image loaders. Some apps will need to
make adjustments.

Thank you,

Control: retitle -2 uncoordinated transition causes other packages to break (e.g. volumeicon-alsa)
Control: block -2 by -1

It's OK to reassign, if the bug has to be fixed in 'volumeicon-alsa',
but please let's also keep an RC bug open in 'libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0', so
that people (especially users of 'apt-listbugs') get warned not to
upgrade 'libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0' until the 'volumeicon-alsa' is fixed...

Thanks a lot for your cooperation!
