SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade packages to latest version (apt update && apt dist-upgrade)
2. Upgrade of some packages fail (google-chrome-stable and brave-browser in my
case)
OBSERVED RESULT
Running 'apt dist-upgrade', when upgrading google-chrome-stable and
brave-browser fail like this:
Setting up google-chrome-stable (121.0.6167.139-1) ...
/usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource: 12: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting
";;")
dpkg: error processing package google-chrome-stable (--configure):
installed google-chrome-stable package post-installation script subprocess
returned error exit status 2
Setting up plasma-discover (5.27.10.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build42) ...
Setting up brave-browser (1.62.156) ...
/usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource: 12: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting
";;")
dpkg: error processing package brave-browser (--configure):
installed brave-browser package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 2
EXPECTED RESULT
Installation/upgrade of mentioned packages completes without an error.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.27
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.114.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
xdg-utils package ships broken /usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource script, which error
out while being executed by post-inst scripts from google-chrome-stable and
brave-browser (in my case - I imagine there are other situations where this
would be an issue).
In line 946 of /usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource there is a backtick which causes
sh/dash to error out when running the script.
Once the backtick is removed, script works as expected, and package
installation can continue.
