Title:
  WARNING: icon cache generation failed when installing elementary-icon-
  theme

Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  WHen installing elementary-icon-theme, receive the message:

  gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated cache was invalid.
  WARNING: icon cache generation failed for /usr/share/icons/elementary

  
  I believe this is because there is a folder with a space in the name:

  root at howard:/usr/share/icons/elementary# find ./ -name "* *"
  ./status/48/untitled folder

  After removing that directory, the cache is created successfully:
  root at howard:/usr/share/icons/elementary# rm -rf "./status/48/untitled folder"
  root at howard:/usr/share/icons/elementary# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/elementary
  gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.
