GTK pixbuf errors

Many thanks for your prompt replies, Artist and Dudemanguy.

I first encountered a problem a week ago, when, after doing my regular weekly 'pacman -Sy; pacman -Su', claws-mail stopped working, with various incomprehensible error messages.

So, not knowing any better, I did a full recovery from a system backup made immediately before: as expected, this fixed claws-mail (and cherrytree continued working OK). I didn't do anything further at that point.

Today, following what I thought was the correct procedure to ensure no further problems, I replaced gdk-pixbuf2 with the 'noglycin' version, then followed this with the 'pacman -Sy; pacman -Su'. Claws-mail is fine, but cherrytree isn't.

Looking at your posts, I'm uncertain how to proceed - should I
1. return to the standard gdk-pixbuf2 (which will presumably also pull in glycin), or
2. try the 'pacman -S --overwrite' command, or
3. do both?

I'm quite curious about the results of 'pacman -S --overwrite', but it's up to you to try that or not.

I gave up on gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin. Rednotebook crashed and in my log it said something about I think it was gtk3 that expected gdk-pixbuf2 to be compiled with glycin. It was my own log that I create when i start X and I don't have it anymore.
