I like using the echo icon theme with XFCE. However a while back gnome-themes was retired because it was orphaned for over 6 weeks and echo-icon-theme requires gnome-themes, so it isn't installable any more.
While echo-icon-theme doesn't seem to get any support these days, I'm wondering if I could keep it limping along for a while by changing the requires from gnome-themes to gnome-icon-theme, which is still available? And if it would be OK if I made that change? I'm not sure what from gnome-themes was needed, so I didn't want to go making a change that might not really work.

We're not really packagers on this list (save for Luya :) - he might be able to help or advise?) so you might want to try checking who were the owners of gnome-themes or echo-icon-theme and reach out to them?

The fail to install bugs are assigned to Luya. He acknowoleded the F33 bug and the F34 bug has only been open for a week.
I was just hoping that you guys remembered why the package dependency was there. Changing it to gnome-icon-theme would definitely allow it to install. But I'm worried it might be subtly broken.
It's probably best for me to wait for Luya to weigh in or fix the issue. Thanks for the help.

Hi Bruno, as echo-icon-theme maintainer, go ahead.

OK. I'll try it and if it appears to work, I'll make the change. Thanks.

It seemed to work OK when I tested it. I suspect that all gnome-themes was being used for was to provide fallback icons and those would be provided by gnome-icon-theme.
I did builds for F33 and F34 that should show up in the next branched and rawhide composes. I set the bugs to modifed and will close them after the composes happen.
Thanks.
