[Bug 1635967] Re: [Solved] Inkscape does not start in ubuntu 16.10

 

I've found out that this problem (which also affected a couple of other apps) was probably caused by the unprecedented difficulties I've encountered during this system upgrade that resulted in having to do a fresh install (still with some difficulty)
It seems during installation the package "libgtkmm-2.4-1v5" did not install properly (with only files copied to "/var/lib/dpkg/info" showing that it was installed and an empty directory under "/usr/share/doc/", nothing more, i.e. the essential files under "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" missing), and reinstallation of this package did the trick :-)
Thanks anyway...
