i’m trying to use xdg-icon-resource install to install an icon but it’s failing because my $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons/hicolor is a symlink to the nix store so it can’t modify it or its subfolders
$ xdg-icon-resource install --size 32 icon_32x32.png --novendor decker
/nix/store/ifzwv2xqwdnv1gz87rxkizi67py5p3vj-coreutils-9.4/bin/touch: cannot touch '/home/me/.local/share/icons/hicolor/.xdg-icon-resource-dummy': Read-only file system
and trying to unlink it doesn’t work despite me owning it.
$ ls -l ~/.local/share/icons/
total 8

$ unlink ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor
