Description:

Many GTK-based applications I use report:
Gtk-WARNING **: Icon cache '/usr/share/icons/icon-theme.cache' is invalid

I've tried deleting the cache file
rm /usr/share/icons/icon-theme.cache

I've tried refreshing the cache:
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/

... but nothing worked and I still receive that warning.

GTK2 bug? Other people that I know have this same issue.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  The file shouldn't exist, and not a single package in current/extra create the icon cache in that directory.

Just delete the file, there's no reason for that file to exist, as these index files are only valid for icon themes. /usr/share/icons is the root of all icon themes, while an icon cache is created for a specific theme.
