That file you are chasing is *part* of the package's scripts, which doesn't 
appear in `dpkg -L` lists at all.

You should simply reinstall the package if you can -- `apt-get --reinstall 
install hicolor-icon-theme`.

In case that doesn't work, and that file doesn't exist, just make it a dummy 
script:

$ echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nexit 0' > /var/lib/dpkg/info/hicolor-icon-theme.postinst
$ chmod +x /var/lib/dpkg/info/hicolor-icon-theme.postinst

...and try to reinstall the package once again.

Apologies if I've misread anything as your question didn't make 100% clear 
exactly what the problem was.
