I had the same problem. I used the strace command to trace the systems
calls and found the following:

stat("/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, 
st_size=464, ...})                                    = 0
write(2, "Warning, failed to load: ", 25)                                       
                                                = 25
write(2, "package-install", 15)                                                 
                                                = 15
write(2, "Icon \'package-install\' not prese"..., 43)                           
                                                = 43
write(2, "\n", 1)                                                               
                                                = 1

The same hicolor directory existed in the /usr/local/share/icons
directory. This directory was created when I installed the SAP Gui on my
PC. My problem was resolved, after I move the icons from
/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor to /usr/share/icons/hicolor and deleted
the /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme file.

Synaptic also search for themes in a few other places.

$HOME/.icons/
$HOME/.local/share/icons/
/usr/local/share/icons/
/usr/share/icons/
/usr/share/pixmaps/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/
