On Ubuntu-Mate 22.04 after this bug occurred the Brisk Menu logo had changed to a Gnome foot (which returned to "normal" after restarting the session)

After updating packages in a 22.04 ubuntu-mate VM on 24/3/22 I hit this bug. Additionally of note the Brisk Menu icon in the session changed to the Gnome "foot" (although the menu seemed unaffected). This logo reverted to the Ubuntu Mate one after logging out and back in again. Not important, but I wanted to flag this somewhere in case an upstream fix in Solus brisk menu or in Ubuntu Mate might be desirable

This is already discussed in bug 1964923 and seems to be worked on by foundations there.
Marking this one as a duplicate.
