[ubuntu-dev] Bug#831050: gdebi: Please drop dependency against gnome-icon-theme

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: gdebi
Version: 0.9.5.7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

Could you please drop the dependency against gnome-icon-theme?
gnome-icon-theme is deprecated for gtk3 and replaced by
adwaita-icon-theme.

If I'm not wrong, gedebi only uses one icon from gnome-icon-theme,
gnome-mime-application-x-deb, this icon is not available in
adwaita-icon-theme. BUT, can be replaced by the package-x-generic (which
is also available in other icon themes).

On my machine this is the same icon as for the .deb and .udeb files.

An explicit dependency against adwaita-icon-theme should probably be
avoided as libgtk3 will already pull it

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
