The problem is that texmacs-common.postinst calls gtk-update-icon-cache,
which throws an error if 'No theme index file' has been created (see
attached dpkg output).

This can be circumvented by forcing gtk-update-icon-cache to rebuild the
index file by using the --ignore-theme-index option (see patch).
However, I am not sure if this is the most elegant method or place to
solve the bug.
