Title:
Excessive disk thrashing on triggering gtk-update-icon-cache
Status in “hicolor-icon-theme” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Platform: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Version Information:
Installed: 0.12-1ubuntu2
Candidate: 0.12-1ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 0.12-1ubuntu2 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
Expected Behavior: No system freeze on updating the icon cache
Actual Behavior: Inconvenient system hangs whenever an application updates
the icon cache through e.g. updates.
Extended Description:
Any time an application is updated, or added, which uses icons stored
in /usr/share/icons/hicolor, dpkg updated the icon cache through the
triggering process.
The command being run is gtk-update-icon-cache --force, which
according to the manual rebuilds the entire icon cache. Whenever this
command is run, a slowdown of the entire system occurs, and does not
relent until the cache is rebuilt. Instead, run it with --validate.
A patch (in diff format) is attached which is intended to replace the
package maintainer's script in debian/postinstall.
