Ken, that's a very good question.  Unfortunately, if a package builds
without problems I don't keep the logs.  I build everything in a separate
build directory, and then clear that directory on success.  Maybe I should
keep all the build logs in a separate directory, but I've seen no point --
until now, maybe.

All I can say is that, on this build, I've only just installed
hicolor-icon-theme and /usr/share/icons/hicolor was already in existence,
created by an earlier package.  Clearly, I could track this down as I have
a list of all the packages I've installed, but it will take some time.

The reason that I'm so certain is because when the hicolor-icons-theme
build initially failed I checked /usr/share/icons and hicolor existed with
a number of entries.  As I've been working on this build sporadically over
the last few months it was dated 18 March.  Then, when the build of
hicolor-icon-theme succeeded, the date of the directory changed to 21 May
(today) as it was overwritten.  Anyway, if I have the time I'll see if I
can dig out the answer.
