Package: libgtk2.0-bin
Version: 2.24.5-4
Version: 2.20.1-2
Severity: serious
/usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache is not part of any package, but
according to gtk-update-icon-cache(1), it is a cache file generated by
gtk-update-icon-cache.
This behaviour violates the File Hierachy Standard, chapter 4: "[...]
/usr is [...], read-only data. That means that /usr [...] must not be
written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is
stored elsewhere. [...]"
gtk-update-icon-cache should use /var/cache for such caches.

This cache is only ever written upon dpkg invocation, through a trigger.
It is not host-specific, and does not vary with time - unless you count
upgrading packages as “varying with time”, which would make all files
under /usr fall under this rule.
This file is under control of gnome-icon-theme, which is in charge of
setting the trigger and cleaning up on package removal. Again, there is
no policy violation here.
