gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.11-1 is missing xpm image support

Description:

This morning, after upgrading gdk-pixpuf2 to 2.42.11-1, gkrellm fails to start, with the following error messages:

madmax@[neverwinter]:~ $ LC_ALL=C gkrellm

Downgrading back to gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.10-2 fixed the issue.

Is this a bug, or is upstream really so stupid as to remove support for xpm?
