AFAIK you are not right - this is stupid bug in /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches script, because update-icons-cache does not create icon-theme.cache file, it works only if icon-theme.cache file already exist in theme folder. Sergey Nizovtsev (reporter of this bug) already noticed this and correctly assigned this bug to gtk+2.0 package (update-icon-caches script is in libgtk2.0-bin package). This bug was fixed in gtk+ 2.16.1-1, which was released on 12 April 2009, but Ubuntu developers forgot to include these improvements in Ubuntu Jaunty libgtk+2.0-bin package, released on 15 April 2009 and included only in libgtk2.0-bin 2.18.x package in Ubuntu Karmic, look at changelog.Debian : gtk+2.0 (2.16.1-1) experimental; urgency=low [ Josselin Mouette ] * Make update-icon-caches always generate the cache, now that dh_icons is widespread. -- Sebastian Dröge <sl...@debian.org> Sun, 12 Apr 2009 11:21:58 +0200 So, please fix this bug in Ubuntu Jaunty and Hardy by applying attached 2 lines patch against update-icon-caches script, this is safe and patched packages can go into ubuntu-updates repository. ** Attachment added: "Patch against update-icon-caches to make always generate the cache (fixes dh_icons postinst scripts)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33207683/update-icon-caches-dh_icons.patch ** Changed in: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- Gnome and Human icon themes do not contain icon caches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262723 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-icon-theme in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
