Bug#976603: Icon themes in breeze and papirus are not supported
Package: fcitx5
Version: 5.0.2-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: zhsj@debian.org
In fcitx5, the iconName function is patched[1] to return name with
"org.fcitx.Fcitx5" prefix. Then all fcitx5 related packages only
install icons with "org.fcitx.Fcitx5", while the icons with "fcitx"
prefix are removed. The purpose is to make fcitx5 and fcitx(fcitx4)
installable together.
However it makes fcitx5 lost the icons from breeze and papirus themes,
which only provide icons with "fcitx-" prefix.
While it makes sense to just set fcitx and fcitx5 conflicted, but it involves
too much packages which I don't know how to process.
Another approach is to split the icons, so fcitx and fcitx5 share the
same icon package.
