Public bug reported: These packages are either assumed to be installed or expected to be available by other packages. It is the default for many packages. Additionally, the hicolor theme is highly inadequate and missing many default icons.
If I'm supposed to be able to develop and build on Windows Linux Subsystem (WLS), then all packages like these need to be available. It really shouldn't be that challenging to make all build libraries and icon packages available in all versions of Ubuntu. I've enabled trusty- updates, trusty-backports, and extras. I may be able to pull icon packages from other versions, but I still may have strange dependency issues. (Sometimes dependencies don't make sense.) Since I'm not dealing with a real Linux kernel, doing a full upgrade is inadvisable. It seems that these icons have been available before, but apt does not give me an alternate package to install the icons. Neither adwaita-icon- theme or adwaita-icon-theme-full are available. It seems the the full theme pulls in the cursors. I've used Ubuntu before and currently dual boot it with Windows. I figured that other than the limits and quirks of WLS, this would be fairly easy with my prior experience. I was wrong! ** Affects: adwaita-icon-theme (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: needs-packaging -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625782 Title: adwaita-icon-theme and adwaita-icon-theme-full not available in Trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adwaita-icon-theme/+bug/1625782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
