Description Marco Tessarotto 2008-11-28 16:38:07 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I cannot reinstall (upgrade) an icon theme through the theme manager.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install a theme with the theme manager
2. Reinstall it



Actual results:
It gives me an error saying: Installation for theme "AnyTheme" failed.
Can't move directory over directory.


Expected results:
That it reinstall it without any problem

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I could always remove the icon folder under the .icons directory manually and the If I install the theme it works properly. But if I try to RE-install it with the theme manager without deleting manually the directory the manager gives me that error.

I've tried other themes and the problems seems to affect all of them. Actually I've found no theme that succeed in Re-installing.
