Title:
Remove gtk3's versioned dependency of on adwaita-icon-theme
Status in Lubuntu Artwork:
New
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Impact
=======
libgtk-3-common depends on adwaita-icon-theme (>= ${gnome:Version}). For
xenial, this is adwaita-icon-theme >= 3.18.
This causes 2 problems. One is that we have to remember to upload a
new version of adwaita-icon-theme before we upload a new version of
GTK3. Otherwise, the new version of adwaita-icon-theme becomes
unbuildable because adwaita-icon-theme depends on GTK3 to build but
GTK3 is uninstallable because the dependency can't be satisfied yet.
This can be worked around (it happened this week with 3.20 in yakkety)
but it's not good.
The other is that Lubuntu doesn't want to install adwaita-icon-theme
but instead install lubuntu-icon-theme as a replacement by setting
Provides: adwaita-icon-theme. According to Debian policy, that doesn't
work if something has a versioned dependency on the provided package.
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-
relationships.html#s-virtual
The versioned dependency was removed in Debian svn:
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gtk%2B3.0/debian/control.in?r1=49406&r2=49410
Test case
=========
Since the xenial daily images use -proposed, check here whether
adwaita-icon-theme is installed a day or two after the gtk update has been
pushed to xenial-proposed:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/xenial/daily-live/current/xenial-
desktop-amd64.manifest
Regression potential
====================
If in fact, lubuntu-icon-theme does not include some of the icons in
adwaita-icon-theme, there will be missing icons in apps that try to use those
icons.
