package update error -- "awoken-icon-theme"

[SaintDanBert]

Update manager announced that I had updates waiting.
I tried to spin and install the updates only to get errors.
One package awoken-icon-theme keeps showing as ready for update, but when I try the install I get:


Preparing to replace awoken-icon-theme 2.0~ppa1~lucid2 (using .../awoken-icon-theme_2.1~ppa1~lucid1_all.deb) ...

Unpacking replacement awoken-icon-theme ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/awoken-icon-theme_2.1~ppa1~lucid1_all.deb (--unpack):
unable to install new version of `/usr/share/icons/AwOken/clear/128x128/places/s11/folder-science.png': No such file or directory

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/awoken-icon-theme_2.1~ppa1~lucid1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Yes, I can unmark the package and press forward with whatever else is available. However, when update manager does its dance, this package is right back on the list again.

Yes, I see the string ~ppa1 in the name of the package DEB file.
I'm dashed to discover what might be calling for this specific package from whichever PPA is involved.

Suggestions for resolution?

same problem ...

I found this page: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Awoken-icon-theme-Edited-Download-60016.html that leads to a tar-ball.

The tar.gz download has one of those "wait for NNN seconds ... or sign up" delays. The resulting download does not include a package but instead the raw icon theme files.

This won't fix your update-manager notice troubles, but it does give you the theme if you need it.

I found this page: http://cdn.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/linux-distributions/linux-distributions4-ubuntu/1707-awoken-icon-set-20-is-available-ppa-ubuntu.

This will guide you through adding a PPA and package install. More after I try this.

The "unchanged" tells me that I already had this PPA enabled.
After click-grind, the error persists, so there is some problem within the repository for this package.

I also have the same problem!

[volneilo]

Hi folks. Same problem here, hope someone to come up with an answer soon. Googling led me to only this thread, seems like this is a new subject yet.

[ParadoxBlue]

I guess I might as well sign up to this thread. I have the same problem. My error seems to be just the "science" icon. I also notice when I browse through /usr/share/icons/AwOken/clear/128x128/places I find many broken links to icons that don't seem to exist. I've submitted the attached screenshots for everyone's perusal.

I'm also having this problem, hopefully they will fix it soon. My folders are all screwed up :(

[dpsk]

same there :( wanna fix

[mcrump001]

It seems that doing:

sudo aptitude remove awoken-icon-theme

and then:

sudo aptitude install awoken-icon-theme


fixes the problem. At least it did for me.

works fine for me too.

Many thanks! Worked fine here too!

Yup that does seem to have worked. Guess I should have tried that to begin with but didn't want to make things any worse than they already were. Thx.

Does anyone know which package demands this specific icon theme?

I simply removed the package without a re-install. So far nothing
has complained, but I cannot discover the dependencies with the package
gone from my box.

[jayarbie]

works (thanks) - but what was the reason for the error?

[SaintDanBert]

Just a guess based on limited understanding of how apt-get and friends works:


Correctly, the update-manager (and synaptic) both identify the package as needing an update. (I base "correct" on results of poking around in package details and similar.)

The update runs and tries to fetch the package parts.

During the data fetch, there are errors reported out there in package land resulting in "not found" or similar errors.

The errors cause the update to report a failure.


The errors could be due to a bad dependency or a simple mis-spelled filename or something like that.

Unless or until someone fixes "package land" the error will persist.

Well that was easy! This fix worked like a charm for me as well. Thanks for posting this. Such a simple fix.

Finally and at long last, this worked for me as well.
I guess that things got fixed in package land.

It has reached a point where we take for granted that we can use


sudo apt-get install package

or

sudo aptitude install package


This minor problem reminds me that these simple commands have a huge number of moving parts:

scan of our local installed package inventory
calculation of dependencies
request to locate desired package and all dependencies
interaction with primary repository
interaction with various PPA repositories
request to download desired packages and dependencies
install of each package fetched

An occassional hiccough should not be a surprise, but they are rare enough that they continue to surprise us. Thanks, Developers!!

Thanks to all respondents,
