Details

- I think that gnome-icon-theme-symbolic is not needed, gufw should work fine with any icon theme.

-lxpolkit, mate-polkit, polkit-gnome: I recommend to remove these from optdepends, because it depends on the actually used desktop environment if the user needs one or not.
This task depends upon

`gnome-icon-theme-symbolic` is required - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~costales/gui-ufw/gufw-14.10/view/head:/INSTALL

I have removed the optdepends for `lxpolkit`, `mate-polkit`, `polkit-gnome` in gufw-14.10.1 which is also a new upstream release.

Even if upstream states that it depends on gnome-icon-theme-symbolic, it just requires an icon theme which contains the following icons:
- edit-find-symbolic
- list-add-symbolic
- list-remove-symbolic
- emblem-system-symbolic

These icons can be found also in mate-icon-theme, and in the new awaita-icon-theme, which is the default icon them since GTK+ 3.14 (currently in [testing]).

So there is no hard dependency on gnome-icon-theme-symbolic.

Hi! I'm a Gufw developer.
This dependence was added by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gui-ufw/+bug/878639 because in some environments the icons are from that package: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/83232891/gufw-missing%20icons.png
Best regards!

Thanks you for the explanation. But I think it's not in case with GTK+ 3.14, which uses Adwaita icon theme by default, and depends on it, so the symbolic icons will be available on all systems.

I am following upstream advice and they have even explained why the dependency was added. With no mechanism within PKGBUILD to stipulate 'icons_a or icons_b' without updating all the icon themes with 'provides=('gufw-symbolic-icons') I am not sure what I am supposed to do with this ticket?

Since GTK+ 3.14 is already in [extra], I removed gnome-icon-theme-symbolic dependency in trunk.
