severity 394280 important thanks This error message is a telltale sign of a debconf-related error (calling db_get for a missing question), but looking at the current maintainer script for the package I'm not able to poke any holes in it; bootsplash depends on the theme, so the theme must be installed before the bootsplash postinst is called, which means shared/bootsplash-theme and bootsplash-theme-$NEW_THEME/resolutions must both have been registered. The other questions belong to the bootsplash package itself, so must also be registered.
The only possibility I see is that some package other than the bootsplash-theme-debian package in the archive is installed which registers shared/bootsplash-theme, but the name it gives does not have a corresponding bootsplash-theme-$theme/resolutions question. It is possible to improve the bootsplash maintainer script to guard against that, but doing so should not be release-critical. Nick, it might be helpful if you could tell us here the value of "echo GET shared/bootsplash-theme | debconf-communicate". Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
