[Bug 835414] Re: package gnome-colors-common 5.5.1-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

 

It seems that the postinst tries to add some symlinks to directories
that don't exist. The fix should be very easy, so I don't know why this
is still unresolved.

Anyway, here is a workaround (run as root):

for d in $(ls /usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common/*/places | sed -rn
's,^.*/([0-9]+x[0-9]+)/.*$,\1,p'); do mkdir -p
"/usr/share/icons/gnome/$d/places"; done
