Bug#298181: balsa: FTBFS: Failed to write cache file: Permission denied

[Kurt Roeckx]

Package: balsa
Version: 2.3.0-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package is failing to build on most arches with the
following error:
make  install-data-hook
make[5]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/balsa-2.3.0/images'
if test -n "/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache" ; then                    \
        /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/balsa/hicolor ; \
        /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor ;          \
fi
Failed to write cache file: Permission denied
make[5]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1

Obviously, you can't do that as non-root.  This is
probably something you should to in the postinst and
postrm script instead.

PS: Maybe a debhelper script for that would be useful, I
guess you're not the only one who has to do that.
