The yast2-theme package makes a syslink to the hicolor directory instead of oxygen by default: # let's take hicolor icons for yast ln -s /usr/share/icons/hicolor $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{yast_themedir}/current/icons Furthermore, the yast2-theme version shipped on 13.2 RC1 doesn't have %posts as the version shipped on 13.1: %post openSUSE-Oxygen cd /usr/share/YaST2/theme ln -snf openSUSE-Oxygen openSUSE-current
