I am going to make the assumption that someone is working the bug with
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache not creating the icon-theme.cache file and
reporting the 127 (file not found error).  Since I've heard nothing else
about this, I'm also assuming that no one needs any further information to
debug this issue.

I've just done an update from the Georgia Tech mirror and am now seeing a
message saying the perl manpages have a corrupt 
local copy and should be deleted.  I deleted my local copy, but can't
download a new copy.  I switched to the Virginia 
Tech mirror and was able to download the man pages, but also got a new file
not found error as shown in the following 
paragraph.  Apparently there is a new package set needed for some of the
packages I've already installed.

Package: gnubg
	gnubg.sh exit code 127
Package: Unknown package
	gnome-icon-theme.sh exit code 127
	hicolor-icon-theme.sh exit code 127

I did the same investigation and found the gnubg.sh script has the line
"/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor" which returns the 127 error and does not create
the icon-theme.cache file.  The gtk-update-
icon-cache executable does not appear to work as documented.  Please treat
this as a bug report.

I would be happy to assist with further debugging, but will need guidance as
to what would be most useful.
