Firejail and upgrade from gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.12>gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.2-1

The recent upgrade in gdk-pixbuf2 causes this error when loading apps with firejail:

Gtk-WARNING **: 10:26:00.484: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Which seems to make apps lose their upper left icon.

EDIT: looks like there's a huge amount of scope creep with the new gdk-pixbuf2 package that is causing a lot of unwanted sandboxing across the environment. I will be downgrading to an earlier package for now.

I had either this or a similar issue, had to downgrade to 2.44.1-3 before evince would work while on latest version of apparmor and apparmor.d-git from aur.

I have this issue with transmission-remote-gtk under firejail, works fine otherwise:

Thank you seth for the links. I was hoping for a resolution upstream, but I'm not sure it's coming any time soon.

I'm considering installing gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin, because I don't want to tweak my firejail profiles, especially not if the issue might get solved eventually.

I would like to know how others are addressing this issue.

"wait and see" - if the repo build doesn't deactivate glycin again and upstream doesn't get their act together I'll eventually use the AUR build and minimize local dependency - the status quo is rather ridiculous on multiple all(?) conceivable layers.

Re: Firejail and upgrade from gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.12>gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.2-1

nb. that the firejail situation differs from the "icons terribly broken because glycin bug" in that link.
Did you test the current firejail compatibility w/ glycin?

Re: Firejail and upgrade from gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.12>gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.2-1

Ahh i must not have read deep enough there or skimmed over important details. I had a issue where i could not boot multiple apps at all post firejail + apparmor install. gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin and librsvg-noglycin fixed this (I got it from a github link ive long since deleted beacuse im stupid)

Enyways my issue has been fixed which was probably bwrap related rather than the icons you mention. I have the default versions installed

Default versions = Not the -noglycin
