Copying from IRC:

   1 -r--r--r--   1 root     bin            0 Oct 18 21:12
/mnt//usr/lib/amd64/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
   1 -r--r--r--   1 root     bin            0 Oct 18 21:12
/mnt/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

so, I"'m looking at
/var/svc/log/application-desktop-cache-pixbuf-loaders-installer:default.log
the log seems a bit mangled, but it says, at some point:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders not installed

Apparently, deleting the empty cache files and rerunning the service does
the right
thing.

One other thing that occurs to me: does OpenIndiana still run a find to see
if the
cache needs to be regenerated due to new loaders? I largely removed all
that logic
because (a) it was quicker to refresh the caches than work out if it was
necessary,
and (b) it was susceptible to timestamps getting out of whack.
