Hi all, I'm the maintainer of the bootsplash package, sorry for having taking so long to reply.

Me too, I don't know how debconf database got in such a state, I'm pretty sure that this doesn't happen with brand new installations, so the unreproducibile tag is right here. Pprobably the last resort is a force brute action like: dpkg --force-all --purge bootsplash bootsplash-theme-debian this should "reset" the debconf database. Then try apt-get install bootsplash which will pull in bootsplash-theme-debian as a dependency. Ciao, Free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
