Bug#961552: gnome-contacts: org.gnome.Contacts.png files are not installed
Actually, I have found the issue: in the desktop file, there is a line OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; which prevents awesome (possibly willingly) from loading the entry. I verified that by overriding the desktop entry, i.e. by moving the desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications and trying with and without the line and without the line Awesome succeeds in loading the file. We could think that a patch could solve it in Debian, but I don't think that this is a good idea since for uniformity's sake patches should be made for all gnome packages that share this behaviour. This is not reasonable I think. I guess that the good solution would be for Awesome to override this setting while loading desktop files or at least let the user enable this behaviour. Anyways. Case closed. ;) Regards, On Tue, May 26, 2020 at 03:47:25PM -0400, Simon Désaulniers wrote: > Hi, > > > apt-file looks at all the apt sources you have available, so you're seeing > > the PNG icons in the version in stable.

To see what's in the version you > actually have installed, use `dpkg -L gnome-contacts`. Thanks for clarification! I didn't realize that apt-file was not looking into the right branch. Yeah. I should have used `dpkg`. > It looks as though since 3.31.3, gnome-contacts only installs scalable > icons in SVG format. This appears to have been a deliberate upstream > change. Is Awesome unable to display those? So finally, I think that you're half right: yes it is about Awesome, but it's not that it doesn't read SVG, but it's that it's giving up on scanning the whole directory since the current code for doing that is not yet efficient enough. https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/908 This issue can be closed I think. Thank you for your quick and bright response!

Control: retitle -1 gnome-contacts: only has scalable SVG icons, not bitmap PNG icons On Mon, 25 May 2020 at 18:24:54 -0400, Simon Désaulniers wrote: > After installing the package, the icon files are not installed on the system. > According to apt-file, they should be installed at the following paths: > > gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png > gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png > gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png > gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png > gnome-contacts: > /usr/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png apt-file looks at all the apt sources you have available, so you're seeing the PNG icons in the version in stable. To see what's in the version you actually have installed, use `dpkg -L gnome-contacts`. It looks as though since 3.31.3, gnome-contacts only installs scalable icons in SVG format. This appears to have been a deliberate upstream change. Is Awesome unable to display those? smcv
Bug#961552: gnome-contacts: org.gnome.Contacts.png files are not installed
Package: gnome-contacts Version: 3.36.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, After installing the package, the icon files are not installed on the system. According to apt-file, they should be installed at the following paths: gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png gnome-contacts: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png However, the following fails: file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png: cannot open `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/org.gnome.Contacts.png' (No such file or directory) The above results seem to be in contradiction with each other. This has the effect of "blacklisting" desktop files using this icon on some systems like the Awesome window manager. I.e. the desktop icons are not used to populate the list of apps.
