Package: scribes
Version: 0.3.2.6-1
Severity: minor
The scribes package's /usr/share/applications/scribes.desktop has
Icon=scribes. On my system (Ubuntu Feisty), that description results
in a broken icon. The system can only find an icon when displaying
icons at the size of Nautilus' 100% icon size. At any other size
(including menus and panels), the icon doesn't work.
To solve this bug, I edited data/scribes.desktop.in and set the icon
path to /usr/share/pixmaps/scribes.png. I don't know if this is the
proper solution, but it works. I've got a fixed package in my
repository: http://severance.homelinux.org:8066/falcon/
As I think about it, I suppose it's possible that this issue could be
due to a difference between Debian and Ubuntu. I built the Debian
package from source and am using it on Ubuntu.

Closing the Bug, as this is not a bug in Debian. (I have asked for
confirmation in #debian-python, and it's not happening here).

They probably updated the iconcache ;)

Well, that's a valid one, but /usr/share/icons is preferred, as says
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#install_icons
The "Icon:" field in the .desktop file looks for a "scribes" icon in the
paths specified in the icon theme spec
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/icon-theme-spec
Which includes both /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ and /usr/share/pixmaps/,
so there's no need to either specify the extension or the path (as long
as the icon is in a common path, and it is).

It's already there, but in Gutsy, though. You can file a bug report at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/feisty-backports/ if you want it to be
backported to Feisty.
The problem is that Ubuntu uses dh_iconcache, so scribes should also.
But that's an Ubuntu bug, not a Debian one.
Have a nice day
