Should be resolved by adding libadwaita to the inputs.

A broken image?  Any supporting hints like file paths?

It's a practical limitation.  There is a single file, that would leat
to a very large number of conflicts, most of them harmless but still
time-consuming to resolve.  Thus we leave it to a profile hook to
actually generate the icon themes.   This hook runs regardless, but
XDG_DATA_DIRS won't be set by it.

Cheers
