Dear Maintainer,

The Adwaita Icon Theme package includes legacy versions of the appointment icons.

These icons override the app icon and the notification icons of Evolution Alarm Notify.

I would expect that this would not be the case, which can be accomplished by removing these legacy icons.

Control: severity -1 normal

I believe you are referring to these four icon names, which are meant to
be overridden by copies in /usr/share/evolution-data-server/icons/hicolor:

- appointment-missed
- appointment-soon
- dialog-password
- dialog-warning

I think we probably need to continue to ship these, at least in the short
term, because they are referred to by other packages (such as gnome-panel)
and it's difficult to assess whether those other packages are going to be
broken by their removal from the theme.

However, I think it should be possible to make e-d-s's copies "win" by
adding a symlink to the evolution-data-server-common package:

    /usr/share/evolution-data-server/icons/Adwaita -> hicolor

Please could an Evolution maintainer/user test that? I very rarely
use Evolution myself, so I'm not familiar with how to make these icons
be shown.

Thanks,
    smcv

Hello,

Those were indeed the icons I was referring to.

It appears that in the latest experimental version of the
adwaita-icon-theme package, the legacy icons have been removed.
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1453258/accepted-adwaita-icon-theme-440-1-source-into-experimental/

I haven't tested this version, but if the message is to be believed,
this is no longer an issue.
