Subject: [PATCH] guix: gtk-icon-themes: Generate output if no icons
Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2025 23:05:25 +0200

When there are no icon themes, but gtk+ is referenced in the manifest,
the output won't be produced in the gtk-icon-themes derivation.
This will lead to an error.

The problem has been reported by lilyp on IRC. I can't find any packages in
Guix that use gtk+ in inputs and don't have any icons, but this low-effort
package replicates the issue:
```
(package
  (inherit bash)
  (inputs
    (modify-inputs
      (package-inputs bash)
      (append gtk+))))
```

* guix/profiles.scm (gtk-icon-themes): Produce output when no icon cache is created.
