Apt freezes installing paprius-icon-theme (and possibly other icon themes)

[0ysgbo78tf]

Using noX iso - using qtile as my window manager. On virtual machine.

If I do "sudo apt install papirus-icon-theme", the installation freezes, usually at 20%. I haven't tested other icon themes, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same on the rest of them too.

Has anyone else found this problem? It would be good to know if this is just me, or a more systemic problem. Thanks.

I think it is your problem, qtile is not in debian.

How did you install qtile? Are there debian-packages, not ubuntu one (that does not work, ubuntu is not debian)?
From source? Are the path the right one? enough space? ...

Did you try another window manager, in debian are tiling wm, maybe test it with the xorg-iso (fluxbox).

I installed qtile from source:
sudo apt install rxvt-unicode python3 python3-pip python3-gi python3-dbus libpangocairo-1.0-0 xorg xserver-xorg lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings
sudo systemctl enable lightdm
pip3 install xcffib && pip3 install --no-cache-dir cairocffi && pip3 install qtile
mkdir -p ~/.config/qtile
cp ~/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libqtile/resources/default_config.py ~/.config/qtile/config.py

/usr/share/xsessions/qtile.desktop looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Qtile
Comment=Qtile Session
Exec=python3 /home/user/.local/bin/qtile start
Type=Application
Keywords=wm;tiling

I installed qtile the exact same way on Devuan (Debian, but without systemd - I chose runit) on old 32-bit hardware. No problems installing papirus-icon-theme.

I don't have any problems with booting into the qtile graphical environment on my Siduction noX - it's just installing papirus-icon-theme (and probably other icon themes too).

Tried installing papirus-icon-theme on Siduction Xorg (fluxbox) iso per your suggestion, but also freezes at 20% progress.

Strange, I tested it with the xorg-iso in qemu, all went fine.
