package evince 0.9.2-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: el subproceso post-installation script devolvió el código de salida de error 1

[Daniel Tonda]

Binary package hint: evince

This is an error that has appeared in the last week when trying to install via apt-get upgrade in Gutsy. I don't know if it's an error with dpkg/apt or just this package.

Thank you for your bug. Could you run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" on a command line and copy the log?Thank you for your bug. Could you run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" on a command line and copy the log?

I experienced the same problem and I think I've narrowed it down to the end of the evince.postinst file:

stix@excalibur:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash

if which gtk-update-icon-cache >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        for dir in /usr/share/icons/hicolor; do
            echo "trying $dir"
                gtk-update-icon-cache --force --quiet "$dir"
        done
fi
stix@excalibur:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ sudo ./test.sh
trying /usr/share/icons/hicolor
bad image index
The generated cache was invalid.

When I comment out the gtk-update-icon-cache line the package installs fine.
It may also be worth noting that I very recently upgraded from feisty to gutsy.

That block of code was also stopping gnome-panel-data and gnome-session from installing for me. Perhaps part of the gtk theme stuff gets messed up when upgrading from feisty? I'm not sure if I should submit it as a bug to those packages as well, or if it is something I am seeing because I installed feisty and then changed my sources.list to upgrade. Any insight appreciated.

Could you run "ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor"? Do you have any icon there? If that's the case what "dpkg -S icons" say? Does moving it away fix the bug?
