400+ duplicate files exist in the generated Yaru theme icons.

[wontfix]

Symlinks in Yaru have to be generated. It doesn't look like any of the symlink lists have paths outside of current directory.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Theorically yaru generates symlinks at install phase through meson.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

'ls -il' confirms the inodes are different for the duplicate icons so indeed space is being wasted.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Is this still valid?

Symlinks seems to be generated

[wontfix (wontfix)]

Yes. This is about symlinks that don't yet exist but should, not about symlinks that currently exist or are currently generated.

find ! -empty -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort | uniq -w32 -dD

For more detail as listed above.

ls -il *

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

I see, please submit the details also https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/3900 so that it can be tracked better upstream

Details are easily shown with rmlint-gui to visualize it both in icons or src and choose the source of truth images if you don't like their in-directory selections. Add a relative symlink -r flag to the output script if you're going to simulate the result. The exact files are also listed in the script to add to your lists.

If you need to exclude or delete all non symlinks after running for easy list output, find . ! \( -type l -o -type d \) -delete
