Package bootsplash-theme is not installed.[/code]
Which is utterly nonsensical. Bootsplash is marked as a dependency of bootsplash-theme-newlinux. However bootsplash can't be configured, because bootsplash-theme-newlinux isn't configured yet. Bootsplash theme newlinux is marked as a dependency of bootsplash (it needs bootslpash installed before it can be configured correctly) however bootsplash-theme-new-linux can't be configured, because bootsplash isn't properly installed yet. Which is an impossible paradox!
The question is, how do I overcome this seeingly impossible situation?
