ibus-table-chinese: missing tables db and icons under share/ibus-table

[Chan-Siu-Man]

Nixpkgs version

Unstable (25.05)

Describe the bug

Chinese input methods (e.g., cangjie3, quick3, etc.) from ibus-table-chinese cannot be used, because the share/ibus-table directory is not generated since certain unstable revision on 2025-03-03.

ibus-table-chinese should have this structure:

$ nix run nixpkgs\#tree -- $(nix build --no-link --print-out-paths --override-flake nixpkgs github:NixOS/nixpkgs/2075894398f3e0d07793425f85282431761b4272 nixpkgs\#ibus-engines.table-chinese)

    └── ibus-table-chinese

But after 2025-03-03 of nixpkgs (e.g., at 95eacfb, possibly earlier), the share/ibus-table directory is missing, so ibus-table-chinese provides no input methods.

$ nix run nixpkgs\#tree -- $(nix build --no-link --print-out-paths --override-flake nixpkgs github:NixOS/nixpkgs/95eacfb6d1accf8d59a9e570d26d04ad693d2ec3 nixpkgs\#ibus-engines.table-chinese)

Steps to reproduce

Run nix run nixpkgs\#tree -- $(nix build --no-link --print-out-paths nixpkgs\#ibus-engines.table-chinese) and observe the output directory structure.

Expected behaviour

ibus-table-chinese should contain share/ibus-table.
