papirus icon

#1 Post by frmald »

This package (papirus-icon-theme) takes an immense time to upgrade. Even on SSD. And it is inconsequential. How can I most easily avoid it being marked for an upgrade ?

I did a strace and the system is reading (unpacking?) thousands upon thousands of file access requests

Unfortunately that comes from this icon set being very, very comprehensive.

To stop it upgrading, open the terminal and run this command:

sudo apt-mark hold [name of the papirus package]

Pls check the package name in Synaptic/MXPI yourself to be sure. I'm in MX19 right now and can't confirm the package name stays the same in MX21.
