Heheh, Manfred, I like that. You're trying to prove in the end that it's
a PEBKAC case after all. But still we can agree it is none...that is,
STILL. :-)

andy@andy-lubuntubox:~$ apt-get --simulate --no-install-recommends install libgtk-3-common=3.18.6-1ubuntu1 adwaita-icon-theme
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

adwaita-icon-theme is already the newest version (3.18.0-2ubuntu1).
Some packages could not be installed. 
<snip>
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 adwaita-icon-theme : Depends: libgtk-3-bin but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

HEH!
Now it wants libgtk-3-bin first...

Dude, YOU DO KNOW YOUR STUFF!
I take my hat off.

$ sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-bin=3.18.6-1ubuntu1

THAT fixed it.

Still, I think behavior is wrong, because it clearly told about 
> libgtk-3-common : Depends: adwaita-icon-theme (>= 3.18) but it is not going to be installed

And adwaita...3.18 was working and installed.
It didn't mention _anything_ about libgtk-3-bin, until you did that sneaky simulation line.

Anyways, it was worth posting here, because I might need that "trick"
somewhere else in the future! :)

Thanks again.

Title:
  libgtk-3-common: Adwaita theme dependency not recognized

Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Pre-note: due to severe bugs, I had to go down from 3.19.x back to 3.18.6.
  I think the following content will speak for itself:

  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies.
   libgtk-3-common : Depends: adwaita-icon-theme (>= 3.18) but it is not going to be installed
                     Recommends: libgtk-3-0 but it is not going to be installed
  E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

  There is clearly something wrong.
  Just for "emphasis", I reinstalled Adwaita icon theme 3.18.x again above, to be sure it is really expected to be there.

  But it seems to be a bug that libgtk-3-common does not recognize it as there.
  Plus, --force-depends appears to be unavailable when using the '=' sign for a version-specific downgrade.
