Awesome

[egosum]

That's it! Issue's solved! Thank you, Jerry!

[Jerry]

Uninstall both again via command line, then install themes first. Then software.

[egosum]

Jerry, I did it via command line and the result is:

Ok, I just want Lite Themes reinstalled, nothing else should be marked for upgrade or installation. If it is, disable it. If you're still getting nowhere, uninstall both from the command line and follow the onscreen instructions to the letter:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove --purge lite-software lite-themes

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get clean

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get updatethen reinstall:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install lite-software lite-themes

[egosum]

Jerry, the way I did it was: Synaptic - lite-themes - installed version 2.0-0130-linuxlite - mark for reinstallation - apply:
Setting up lite-software (2.0-0460-linuxlite) ...
chown: cannot access '/usr/share/icons/Faenza*': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package lite-software (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 lite-software
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

[Jerry]

Open up Synaptic and install the Faenza icons. This should fix the issue.

Don't do this. It will conflict with our package.

[Jerry]

How did you reinstall Lite Themes?

[egosum]

Reinstalling via Synaptic:

chown: cannot access '/usr/share/icons/Faenza*': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package lite-software (--configure):

[Jerry]

Ok, you've somehow deleted both the Faenza icon folders from /usr/share/themes

Reinstall the lite-themes package. Then try update again.

[egosum]

What does:

Code: [Select]

ls /usr/share/themes
return?

[egosum]

lite-themes:
  Installed: 2.0-0130-linuxlite

...Checking Synaptic shows installed latest version 2.0-0460-linuxlite?

[Jerry]

Assuming you are on 3.8, what is the result of:

Code: [Select]

apt policy lite-themes
