Description Michael Wolf 2007-02-26 18:30:57 UTC 
gaim, for example, but other packages are failing with basically the same error.

gaim-1.5.0-101.i586.rpm: directories not owned by a package:
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable
 - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps

These directories are provided by the hicolor-icon-theme package.

Simply add "BuildRequires: hicolor-icon-theme" to the spec files of all affected packages and it will work.

Ideally you should remove "BuildRequires: gnome-icon-theme" at the same time - see bug 247450 and bug 247278
Comment 2 Andreas Hanke 2007-02-26 19:11:01 UTC 
It seems that a workaround has been added:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2007-02/msg00873.html

This workaround is not correct because gnome-icon-theme does not depend on hicolor-icon-theme. It's a short-term solution that allows packages to build without fixing them.

The packages have to be fixed to require hicolor-icon-theme directly *instead of* gnome-icon-theme.
Comment 3 Stanislav Brabec 2007-03-01 14:58:04 UTC 
My plan: Add this requirement to the lowest GNOME library, which refers to them and remove bad requirement from gnome-icon-theme. Then remove false requirement of gnome-icon-theme and let's see, what installs any icons there without requiring it.
