Description sig 2024-05-24 17:30:30 UTC
In System Settings > Colors & Themes > Icons:

System Settings > Colors & Themes > Icons.... Then select "Get New..." and select "Show Only Updateable Entries" and the said theme that has an update shows up. When selecting "Update" it just doesn't work.

Seems when a new version of a Icon Theme is available you cannot update it, the only way is to "Uninstall" and then "Install" it.

Can you describe in what way it doesn't work? What happens instead of the thing you expected to happen?

So what does it do instead? Does it display any error messages? Does the window display any visible changes at all?
Comment 4 sig 2024-06-15 15:58:31 UTC
   When you click "update" it just doesn't do anything, meaning it
   doesn't update to the newest theme version and gives no error or
   anything.

Can you run `journalctl -f` in a terminal window, click the Update button again, and see if anything is shown in the terminal window in response?

Fixed by https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/-/merge_requests/319 in commit https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/-/commit/566eda28646377adddaec0c9808892a2c5edf4e0

The fix will be released very soon. In fact, v6.4.0 has already been tagged, so it's just a matter of time until the maintainers build and ship it in rolling release distros.
