Hello Matthias,

I now uninstalled:

$ sudo apt-get remove apt-config-icons
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  apt-config-icons apt-config-icons-large plasma-discover
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 2,365 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Removing plasma-discover (5.13.4-1) ...

Removing apt-config-icons (0.12.2-2) ...
Processing triggers for mime-support (3.61) ...
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.23-3) ...

But this left me with these files:

$ ls /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60icons*
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60icons  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60icons-large

They belong to packages that are not installed:

$ apt-file search /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60icons
apt-config-icons: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60icons
apt-config-icons-hidpi: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60icons-hidpi

Could it be that upgrading from Jessie to Buster does not delete these
scripts?
