Hello, Thank you for the report.
The issue is that Syncthing now uses fontawesome v5 but it is not yet available in Debian. (See #902981) It isn't as easy as forcing the use of v4 because Syncthing has switched to using the "fas" prefix that was introduced in fontawesome v5. I have worked on a patch that adds the "fas" prefix to fontawesome v4. However, I am facing other incompatibilities as there are many icons that have changed name. I don't really know what is the best solution here, maybe I can merge my patch until something better is available. Cheers, -- Alexandre Viau av...@debian.org
