Thunar 4.18 will not start, error with svg icon in Papirus theme

when I try to launch Thunar 4.18:

(thunar:164149): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:51:59.754: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:8:0: Expected a valid selector

(thunar:164149): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:51:59.827: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
**
Gtk:ERROR:../gtk/gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /usr/share/icons/Papirus-Dark/24x24/status/image-missing.svg: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3)

zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped)  thunar

As suggested in another thread, I've done:

❯ stat /usr/share/icons/Papirus-Dark/24x24/status/image-missing.svg

/usr/share/icons/Papirus-Dark/24x24/status/image-missing.svg: SVG Scalable Vector Graphics image

anyone else having issues? I've tried downgrading both thunar and papirus-icon-theme, so I'm guessing it's another package causing the issue.

I have upgraded to 4.18 on gtk 3.24.35 and use papirus without issue after upgrade

stat /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
