The developers of youtube-viewer are aware of this and plan to drop the
dependency on perl-gtk2 (moving to gtk3), but this takes time.

In the meantime we could do one of these things:

* build youtube-viewer without the GUI

* disable the single failing test in perl-gtk2 (as long as this doesn=E2=80=

  represent an actual problem)

I would prefer not to use an old version of gdk-pixbuf.
