This command gives libgtk2.0-bin, libgtk-3-bin:/usr/sbin/update-icon-caches

But weirdly
dpkg -S /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches.gtk2 
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches.gtk2

also apt-file search fails to find package which ships update-icon-caches.gtk2

Hope this information helps. I will be travelling over weekend so might
not be able to reply in case further information is required. I should
be able to get back from Monday
