mageia I am the only guy with that issue ? Nobody else confirm ? No, you are not the only one - confirmed here too. Theme installation seems to finish OK, and installer lists the theme as installed. However, it does not appear in the list of selectable themes. CC:

Thanks to confirm this. As I mentioned in my previous post, problem looks to come from plasmapkg2 command which is broken. I am wondering if it is also a known upstream bug ? Bug still valid at the level Mageia6 rc. As expected, also the same result is achieved when trying to install a new icon theme in the same way through systemsettings5.

Cauldron =>
6 I can confirm that this bug still exists in Mageia 6. The workaround is to download the theme tarball from the web site and extract it manually to ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme. But the dialogue in System Settings doesn't work as intended. I can also confirm this bug, on an up to date x86_64 mageia 6, plasmapkg2 doesn't work at all, it immediately return with exit code 255. (thanks for the workaround, by the way) CC:

mageia Need to add information about this in Erratas. But not only for themes also plasmoids and other things (icons?) that the plasma tools offer to search and install but the installation is not are working. https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/07/16/announcing-mageia-6/#comment-8402 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/07/16/announcing-mageia-6/#comment-8412 I don't add the info because i don't know much of plasma/kde CC:

IN_ERRATA6 I was in the same situation. I have debugged plasmapkg2. It seemed to be an error occurring when kpackage was not installed. After installing kpackage, the error no longer exists. And the desktop theme was successfully installed. CC:

depot.routeadd Additional to comment #11 suggestion i have to install kemoticons kiconthemes Not all available themes are listed to select after installation but i think is a issue with some themes Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
