I can't reproduce this bug. Further, I think the description given by the requester is misleading. As best as I can tell, it appears that splashy installed fine. During an install of desktop-base, this error is being generated from xml_parser.c:279:xml_parser_set_xml_file
As far as I can tell this is coming from the call in desktop-bases's postinst to "splashy_config --set-theme moreblue-orbit" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
