I'm not sure what's happening here, libxcursor doesn't include that file at all.

Edit, how about this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182348

Did you go monkeying around in /usr behind pacman's back?

Oh, you are right. It includes /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme [1], maybe there is a symlink somewhere, I don't find it.

$ ls -l /usr/share/icons/Oxygen_Blue/index.theme
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 122 May 6 00:06 /usr/share/icons/Oxygen_Blue/index.theme

$ ls -l /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 122 May 6 00:06 /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme

Bot are the same size and the same date.

And there is also:
$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme is owned by kdebase-workspace 4.11.9-2

Why is this? I think one of those files is a symlink (like it happened in the forum link), but ls -l doesn't show it, and that pacman output...

/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme does not exist in kdebase-workspace. Did you maybe hardlink it?

It's true, looking at the files, I was playing with /usr, they share the same inode.

I thought it was a bug, sorry for the noise, and thank you!
