Bug Description

Operating System: Linux Mint 15
gtk2-engines-aurora: Version 1.5.1-3

I installed a theme based on the Aurora engine (specifically WildMint, which depends upon Aurora-Midnight). I believe you can still acquire Aurora-Midnight here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=120069

Upon selecting it, I was informed "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine "aurora" is not installed. Near as I could tell, the theme seemed to function correctly, perhaps because of a reasonable default engine. The error came up every time I tested it.

Naturally, it would be better if this error message didn't show up. I think it's because the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libaurora.so file was missing. I was able to resolve this with a symlink to /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libaurora.so. This seemed to resolve the problem entirely.

This particular theme engine probably just needs to update its installation directory, but I'll defer to your expertise in resolving the issue.

In case you have difficulty reproducing the error, here is my ~/.themes directory. It contains the WildMint and Aurora-Midnight themes.

Probably not necessary, but thought it wise to include just in case.
