Faenza icon theme missing Nauilus/Gnome Files icon

[Jason Heeris]

In 16.04, Faenza had a distinct icon for the Gnome Files app (aka. Nautilus). In 17.04, it falls back to the default Gnome theme icon. I'll attach a screenshot showing the difference, but the Faenza icon "system-file-browser" is grey and has the rounded square look of other Faenza icons; the fallback icon is blue.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

We're in 2018, March, the first, and the problem still occurs.

Any news about this bug ?

Faenza icon was not developed nor maintained in the last decade. Its upstream is also defunct.

* If you can persuade upstream to make a release to fix this bug, I will be happy to package the new version.

* If you can provide a patch, I will also be happy to apply that onto icon theme package in the archive asl well.
