Re: What generates colossal 1.4G /usr/share/icons

What is it that generates the **absolutely massive** /usr/share/icons/?
I've had a hunt through "requires:" in setup.ini but got lost.

$ du -sh /usr/share/icons
114M /usr/share/icons

These icon directories have a _lot_ of symlinks, did you perhaps copy your
installation and flatten them?

Thank you.
$ du -sh /usr/share/icons/
1.5G /usr/share/icons/
I did not intentionally flatten them, but I must have: 1.5G >> 114M.
Unflattening is presumably not possible (how would it be driven?) so: I had better re-install and hope that multiple symlinks are recovered. â
Can you say what original package installation might have induced this directory?

These commands will give you a hint.

On my system 2 packages only have more the 5000 files
