[Bug 38486] post-install script fails

[Roy W. Andersen]

Public bug reported:

Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
This happens on Dapper with the latest ubuntu-artwork (ubuntu-artwork-12).
The post-install script fails if there is no index.theme file located in /usr/share/icons/default
The error reported by apt-get/dpkg is this:

No theme index file in '/usr/share/icons/default'.
If you really want to create an icon cache here, use --ignore-theme-index.
dpkg: error processing ubuntu-artwork (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ubuntu-artwork
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I circumvented the problem by adding the file putting in the following
content:

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=kubuntu

I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct fix for the problem, but it
worked for me.
