Before I started I had already had a go at compiling the 1.5.6.1 that Debian provides, and during that I used "sudo apt-get build-dep scribus" to find out dependencies, and I guessed that this was enough, since I didn't see any errors while building from svn.

The icons seem to be there, both app icons and everything else:

$ find /usr/local/scribus15svn/share/icons -type f -print0 |xargs -0 ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 232881 Mar  6 06:59 /usr/local/scribus15svn/share/icons/hicolor/1024x1024/apps/scribus.png

$ find /usr/local/scribus15svn/share/scribus/icons -type f -print0 |xargs -0 ls |wc

I rebuilt under my home directory, and I have the same problem.  Also, executing as root gives the same problem.

I found this bug report, "Unnecessary use of QDir::NoSymLinks," from 2019:

https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=15755

which doesn't exactly match my case, since I'm not using a package management tool, but that's all I've found at this point.
