Description Thomas Klausner 2009-05-19 23:28:39 UTC 
gnome-themes-2.26.1/common/mkiconlinks.sh contains unportable shell code.
Only bash's test(1) accepts two equal signs, and ${VAR:0:1} is not support by all (many?) shells. The script is started with #!/bin/sh though.

I'll attach a patch making this more portable.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2018-08-17 19:43:52 UTC 
gnome-themes is not under active development anymore since 2011.
As written in https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-themes/commit/4df81cf0a7fd8d3da6591c4c142f47dfd7778d5f , it is obsolete.

Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-themes/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
