Bug Description

I am using ubuntu 16.04. However, my inkscape doesn't open. It isn't always like this.

When I have been tried to open it from terminal I have been received this massage:

inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgiomm-2.4.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib11VariantTypeD1Ev

I have reinstalled libglibmm-2.4-1v5 but it doesn't work.

So, I don't know what I need to do to have inkscape working in my computer again.

I have the same phenomena upon installation of Inkscape.
This is what I did:
1. click .ai file and said from nautilus that "You need to install application to open this file".
2. Showed two applications. I chose Inkscape.
3. Installation started. Affiliated packages as well.

After I tried to open inkscape, I found the following message.

inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgiomm-2.4.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib11VariantTypeD1Ev

I can reproduce the bug on my 16.04 installation.

I assume it might be related with having > 1 version of libglib-2.0.so.0
 but i need a helping hand to be sure about that.

What should i test? What information is needed?
