Version: 0.10.2-3
Severity: normal

Usertags: gtk-update-icon-cache

Hi,

up until recently, we built two variants of gtk-update-icon-cache:
One from src:gtk+2.0 under /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
and one from src:gtk+3.0 under /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0

The latter using a -3.0 was a Debian specific change.

As the gtk-update-icon-cache utility doesn't actually have any
dependencies on libgtk, we've decided that from now on we will only ship
one implementation built from src:gtk+3.0 installed as
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache. This means, there will no longer be a
Debian specific /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0

The configure.ac script in buzztrax tests for this Debian specific
variant:
http://sources.debian.net/src/buzztrax/0.10.2-3/configure.ac/?hl=640#L640
AC_PATH_PROG(UPDATE_ICON_CACHE, gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0)

Please consider updating this test to use gtk-update-icon-cache instead
(and forwarding this upstream as well).

Thanks a lot,
Michael
