Public bug reported:

When installing it, on Termux w/ Ubuntu 26.04 inside proot distro,
progress stops while generating icon cache even when waiting for it
overnight until the next day.

It's because some folders inside /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce-hidpi
have symlinks to itself eg. actions/actions which then goes to
actions/actions/actions etc. That's why it's never ending. Had to patch
gtk4 to see which files are being processed.

Quick fix is to remove the symlinks:

find /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce-hidpi -type l -lname "$(pwd)" -o
-lname "." -o -lname "./*" | xargs rm -v
