We do not package the .la files (at least for most packages) as they
don't really solve any problems on linux systems and only cause
problems.

The problem might be that you have librsvg providing .la file that
points to the non-existent gdk-pixbuf .la file. Rebuilding librsvg or
removing the .la file should fix that.
