### History
Patch package that eliminates the overlap of mime-type icons in adwaita-icon-theme
In the version `adwaita-icon-theme-3.37.92` and higher, the icons of the mime types `application-x-generic.png` overlap the newly created mime types from the `hicolor` theme and puts empty icons instead of the mime icons of the application files. Only after manual intervention it becomes possible to see the real icons of
a particular mime type: `rename -v \.png \.bak $(find /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/*/mimetypes/ -name 'application-x-generic.*'); gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/`
A prime example is VirtualBox and virtual machine file extensions: `*.vdi`, `*.vbox`, `*.vmdk`. This is just one example.
With the release of `adwaita-icon-theme-3.38.0`, the fault is present globally. Tested in Fedora 33 (Gnome/Mate), Solus 4.1 (Budgie/Mate/Gnome), Mageia-8 (all DE).
The latest version that works correctly - `adwaita-icon-theme-3.37.2`.
The `adwaita-mime-patch` package contains a couple of scripts for the `%post` and `%postun` events:
%post
`rename -v \.png \.bak $(find /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/*/mimetypes/ -name 'application-x-generic.*'); gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/`
%postun
`rename -v \.bak \.png $(find /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/*/mimetypes/ -name 'application-x-generic.*'); gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/`
After installing this patch, the display of mime-type icons works correctly. After deleting the package, everything returns to its original state. That is, to quickly roll back when the problem is resolved.
