+                    When a recipe inherits the

+                    class, this variable identifies packages that contain
+                    the pixbuf loaders modules used with
+                    <filename>gdk-pixbuf</filename> that the OpenEmbedded build
+                    system installs.
+                    By default, these modules appear in the main package
+                    (i.e. <filename>${</filename><link linkend='var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link><filename>}</filename>).
+                    Use this variable if the modules that have the pixbuf
+                    loaders you need appear in a package other than that main
+                    package.
