{SOLVED}: gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.11.1 causes problems in gvim-gtk2

I use gvim-gtk2 from the AUR. A recent update causes an upgrade gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.10-2 --> gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.11.1. I afterwhich I see these errors

(gvim:17647): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: 12:19:31.428: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type “xpm” is not supported
...
(gvim:17647): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:19:31.428: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
....

gvim appears to work, but lacks proper icons (which I assume must be xpm format).

If I downgrade to gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.10-2 then the errors disappear and the original icons work.

Re: {SOLVED}: gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.11.1 causes problems in gvim-gtk2

This is not really an AUR issue, it's the same with all sorts of other GTK applications from `extra` such as GDM, Thunar and wofi.

I was bitten by the same bug today and thought I had screwed up `/usr/share/mime` permissions or something, so I tried the usual remedies

update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache

but to no avail. wofi for instance still could not load some image and crashed;

❯ wofi --show drun

(wofi:19079): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:41:06.191: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/icons/16x16/status/edit-find-symbolic.symbolic.png.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
**
Gtk:ERROR:../gtk/gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:495:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /org/gtk/libgtk/icons/16x16/status/image-missing.png: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3)

I fixed it by downgrading to gtk-update-icon-cache-4.14.2-1 (and the same version gtk4 for good measure just because their versions are synced and it didn't seem a good idea to mix them) and gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.10-2.
