Bug#696354: plasma-desktop: eats up /var/tmp with plasma_theme_*.kcache files > 80M each
Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:4.8.4-5
Severity: important
While updating I've found my root filesystem full. After searching for
space to free, I found on /var/tmp/kdecache-${user} up to 11 files with
size 84213856 each named "plasma_theme_${themename}.kcache". A few days
ago I was testing several themes, however I didn't expect that for each
one I tried it left a file of this considerable size. Globally, it eat
up to 0.9G of disk space which was not reclaimed.
I don't know what are these files for, but given their size I believe
they either should be put in /tmp if there are no longer necessary
after reboot, or instead clean up the files for themes other than the
one currently in use. I don't believe all of them are necessary at the
same time.
Important because I'm not sure if it deserves an RC status, please
upgrade or downgrade.
