Comment 2 for bug 207381

I don't know that anything has changed. If something did change regarding the icon, I would have seen it with an update.
I reinstalled ark-kde4 but there still isn't an icon. Unless it is only included in the oxygen icon package... Scratch that. I checked the oxygen icon package & did a search, but it doesn't include an Ark icon either.

Could you try to find where the icon is located?
(One of the easiest ways would probably be to open Synaptic, find the ark-kde4 package, & then click on the "Installed Files" tab.
