[Kenny Strawn]

Unlike the report about a problem similar to this (Bug #611143), in my case libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev was already installed and I was upgrading it as part of a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' in the Maverick Meerkat.

I had a similar problem with Maverick (64bit) in VBox during "sudo apt-get upgrade":

(gtk-update-icon-cache:3312): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory

Below it was written:

W: libwmf0.2-7 is already removed. It is recommended to run defoma-app purge libwmf0.2-7

so I did the following:

sudo defoma-app purge libwmf0.2-7

(I dont remember the output, but it was something like: run "defoma-reconfigure -f"). I typed in

sudo defoma-reconfigure -f

and it worked
