Bug#295815: libgtk2.0-bin: gtk-update-icon-cache breaks icons

[Juergen Kreileder]

Package: libgtk2.0-bin
Version: 2.6.2-3
Severity: normal

gnome-icon-theme 2.8.0-2 introduced the usage of
gtk-update-icon-cache in postinst (other theme packages have started
using it too).

The icon cache doesn't work properly on my system:

    * Nautilus just shows a blank sheet of paper for all files

    * Galeon and Epiphany lost their spinner icon and some icons
      in their toolbars (new tab, fullscreen, ...)

I'm using the Gnome icon theme, deleting
/usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache and
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache makes the icons show up again.

Regenerating the cache files breaks them again.
