+ Impact
+ =======
+ libgtk-3-common depends on adwaita-icon-theme (>= ${gnome:Version}). For
xenial, this is adwaita-icon-theme >= 3.18.
+
+ This causes 2 problems. One is that we have to remember to upload a new
+ version of adwaita-icon-theme before we upload a new version of GTK3.
+ Otherwise, the new version of adwaita-icon-theme becomes unbuildable
+ because adwaita-icon-theme depends on GTK3 to build but GTK3 is
+ uninstallable because the dependency can't be satisfied yet. This can be
+ worked around (it happened this week with 3.20 in yakkety) but it's not
+ good.
+
+ The other is that Lubuntu doesn't want to install adwaita-icon-theme but
+ instead install lubuntu-icon-theme as a replacement by setting Provides:
+ adwaita-icon-theme. According to Debian policy, that doesn't work if
+ something has a versioned dependency on the provided package.
+
+ https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-virtual
+
+ Test case
+ =========
+ Since the xenial daily images use -proposed, check here whether
adwaita-icon-theme is installed a day or two after the gtk update has been
pushed to xenial-proposed:
+
+ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/xenial/daily-live/current/xenial-
+ desktop-amd64.manifest
+
+
+ Regression potential
+ ====================
+ If in fact, lubuntu-icon-theme does not include some of the icons in
adwaita-icon-theme, there will be missing icons in apps that try to use those
icons.
