I worked around this bug by doing the following: # cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme /usr/share/icons/locolor # apt-get -y remove arson # rm /usr/share/icons/locolor/index.theme
Now I can successfully "apt-get dist-upgrade" again. Before it was always failing because I had done an "apt-get remove arson", and it seemed to require this to succeed before any upgrade could happen. Hope this helps someone, and hope it's not too kludgeriffic. -- arson will not update or remove using apt error https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/39242 -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
