Hi!

All sources hosted at tango.freedesktop.org became inaccessible [1] a couple of days ago, probably due to some software upgrade on freedesktop.org.

I contacted upstream yesterday and was told that tango-icon-theme, tango-icon-theme-extras and icon-naming-utils are dead and that we shouldn't rely on upstream sources being available (they even mentioned they probably won't care about the 404). It has been suggested to use gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-extras instead.

Given that xfce4-settings seems to be the only package depending on tango-icon-theme, I'd suggest to:

* Remove the "tango-icon-theme" dependency from xfce4-settings (this shouldn't break anything, does it?) +1 Maybe you should put gnome-icon-theme{,extras} as optdepends.

gnome-icon-theme is listed as a dependency and is the new default. xfce4-settings no longer depends on tango-icon-theme.

...

* Move both tango-icon-theme and tango-icon-theme-extras to [unsupported]. +1
