Hi,
gdk-pixbuf 2.42.11 has dropped support for several uncommon image
formats. This is causing several applications to crash in Fedora
rawhide [1][2]. (The change also got backported to F40 and F39, but
I've reverted it there.)
Benjamin Gilbert has proposed reenabling the removed loaders [3], but
this is not likely to be accepted upstream. So he's currently planning
to package the removed loaders for Fedora in a separate package. You'll
be able to depend on these if needed to avoid crashing, but please do
so only if you really need to, since the goal of removing the extra
loaders is to reduce attack surface. (Unfortunately gdk-pixbuf is a
fairly risky dependency: many applications require it, but it's not
very safe.) Most applications should use modern image formats instead.
