Papirus-icon-theme: Errors when trying to upgrade

[hamperfait]

Hi,
I was trying to install the latest update (20170304), but it encounters an error

unable to open '/usr/share/icons/Papirus/22x22/animations/nm-vpn-connecting03.svg.dpkg-new': No such file or directory

Any thoughts?
I'm running KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu)
Thanks

Ok, nevermind, used the script instead of apt and managed to solve it....
Should have tried that before asking.

It problem happens because dpkg can't replace symlink to the file correctly.

One way how to fix it:

remove papirus-icon-theme with the command:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/remove-papirus.sh | sh

and reinstall the package:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall papirus-icon-theme

@hamperfait I reopened this issue for other users.

I am also having issues while updating through PPA. Papirus is downloaded, but not getting installed. Says " Failed to install package "

@meetdilip Have you tried using the install script?
I had trouble installing, used the script provided and it worked like a charm afterwards.

I did used the instructions above. I guess, mine got updated as well.

Yeah, pre-install script is working. The problem is solved.
