Description Wenzong.Fan 2013-04-10 02:27:17 UTC 
xcursor-transparent-theme doesn't provide index.theme by default, this might cause 'gtk-update-icon-cache -q /usr/share/icons/xcursor-transparent' failed on target:

Error: gtk-update-icon-cache: No theme index file
Comment 1 Wenzong.Fan 2013-04-17 02:45:14 UTC 
The conclusion was that postinst should check if there is index.theme or ignore it missing, not adding index.theme.

The gtk-icon-cache class uses -t when updating the caches:

       --ignore-theme-index, -t
           Don't check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme
           directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to
           create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be the
           toplevel directory of an icon theme.

If someone is not using gtk-icon-cache.bbclass they either should, or
have a good reason and also use -t.
