I am going to make the assumption that someone is working the bug with

debug this issue.
wrong assumption.
I've done a little more testing and the 127 return code is coming
from the "/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force
/usr/share/icons/..." command line in the scripts. I get the 127
error message even if I run this command from the command line.
This call is supposed to update the icon cache file with the latest
entries. The icon-theme.cache file does exist for both the hicolor
and gnome directories. It appears that gtk-update-icon-cache does
not return a zero exit code; but I don't see any reason for the 127
(file not found) error.
The line should read "The icon-theme.cache file does not exist for
both the hicolor and gnome directories." This command is supposed
to create the cache file and it does not appear to be working.
I've just done an update from the Georgia Tech mirror and am now seeing a
message saying the perl manpages have a corrupt
local copy and should be deleted. I deleted my local copy, but can't
download a new copy. I switched to the Virginia
Tech mirror and was able to download the man pages, but also got a new file
not found error as shown in the following
paragraph. Apparently there is a new package set needed for some of the
packages I've already installed.
Package: gnubg
gnubg.sh exit code 127
Package: Unknown package
gnome-icon-theme.sh exit code 127
hicolor-icon-theme.sh exit code 127
I did the same investigation and found the gnubg.sh script has the line
"/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force
/usr/share/icons/hicolor" which returns the 127 error and does not create
the icon-theme.cache file. The gtk-update-
icon-cache executable does not appear to work as documented. Please treat
this as a bug report.
I would be happy to assist with further debugging, but will need guidance as
to what would be most useful.
could you please try :
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force /usr/share/icons/gnome
and
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force /usr/share/icons/hicolor
so we cant try to understand what is not working on your system ?
Regards
Marco
