The error message says that an error occured while trying to overwrite »/usr/share/themes/nimbus/metacity-1/button-close-icon-prelight.png«, which is part of package gtk2-engines-nimbus, and therefore the dpkg-deb process paste was killed with signal broken pipe.
If you add Conflicts: gtk2-engines-nimbus to the control file, gtk2-engines-nimbus will be removed from aptitude before installation of your package is possible, so the error would not occur (at least I think that will happen, have not tried :-) ) The other question is wether your package name (nimbus) or gtk2-engines- nimbus follows the standards for package names of desktop themes - a question I have no answer for. However, looking into the repository, other Gnome themes are also following this package name scheme: gtk(2 )-engines-xxxx http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=engines&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all -- [needs-packaging] Nimbus GTK theme https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162984 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
