Thanks, so the subsequent errors are:

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Could you please run:
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache --validate /usr/share/icons/Amaranth/
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Amaranth/
and attach the output?

Does it make a difference if you run:
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache --force /usr/share/icons/Amaranth/

[keepitsimpleengr (keepitsimpleengineer)]

Properties of /usr/share/icons/Amaranth/.icon-theme.cache report it is a TrueType font.
It will not open with Font Viewer or KFontView.

Perhaps it is corrupt.

Thanks for the help.

Michael Vogt...

Should I still run:
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache --validate /usr/share/icons/Amaranth/
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Amaranth/
and attach the output?

Does it make a difference if you run:
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache --force /usr/share/icons/Amaranth/

[keepitsimpleengr (keepitsimpleengineer)]

I think this was the result of a corrupted download, is "fixed" and the bug should be closed.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Thanks for following up. I'm closing this report due to your last comment.
Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
