[Solved]GTK applications crashes since last update

I've updated my system with pacman -Syu yesterday and after a restart I was not able to log in normally. In the start I thought about Nvidia drivers update since it woudn't be the first time, but after chrooting into my root partition and reading the logs I've noticed Nvidia has nothing to do. It is actually LightDM that is not able to start lightdm-gtk-greeter. After trying with sddm and being able to log in, now any of the GTK apps doesn't work. When I try to open one, for example nitrogen or libreoffice, this message shows on the screen and everything crashes

 ERR: Could not load "image-loading" from icon theme, this indicates a problem with your Gtk/Gtkmm install. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gdk::PixbufError'

If I downgrade gdk-pixbuff to an older version, the error disapears, but now more things broke as they doesn't recognize libtiff, which I cannot downgrade...

Marking as solved, was a problem with mime database. Updating using

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

solved the issue.
