Thanks for your reply Bruce. I think it would be a help (it certainly would have been for me) if the essence of your reply is added as a note to the hicolor-icon-theme page in the book. As an adjunct to this, and from my discussion with Ken, it's clear that not all package build activity (creating/writing to directories) is recorded in the book, but maybe that would make the book too dense. I'd be interested in your view.
I do not understand what your problem is. hicolor-icon-theme DOES create the directory /usr/share/icons/hicolor as demonstrated in the mkdir command in the log.
