Package: desktop-base Version: 5.0.1 Severity: normal I have a problem with splashy: They decided to move the themes - that includes image files - out of /etc It now installs them to /usr/share/splashy/themes. The documentation states it adds a link: ln -s /usr/share/splashy/themes /etc/splashy/themes
But desktop-base gets in the way, because it creates the /etc/splashy folder, which conflicts! If you do a rm -rf /etc/splashy/themes you get: Unpacking splashy (from .../splashy_0.3.10-2_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/splashy_0.3.10-2_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/etc/splashy/themes', which is also in package desktop-base If you don't remove the folder, then the symlink is not created, the default theme is install into /usr/share/splashy/themes/default and it cannot be found by default /etc/splashy/config.xml update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-amd64 Splashy ERROR: Setting XML file to <</etc/splashy/themes/default/theme.xml>> failed. XML File not found Splashy ERROR: Setting XML file to <</etc/splashy/themes/default/theme.xml>> failed. XML File not found In both case, desktop-base completly breaks splashy.
