Comment 5 for bug 140739

Gutsy 64-bit has the same issue.

It first occurred trying to do a partial-upgrade with package gnome-icon-theme. I manually updated that using "apt-get install gnome-icon-theme" and then, after "dpkg --configure -a" the package "eog" failed. I ran a gdb trace and got:

$ gdb --args apt-get install eog

(gdb) run
