splashy: Splashy fails to install due to missing default theme
clone 506057 -1
reassign -1 desktop-base
retitle -1 desktop-base: Missing conflicts on splashy (<< 0.3.12)
retitle 506057 splashy: Missing conflicts on desktop-base (<< 5.0.2)
thanks
CC-ing debian-release because I think they'll need to be involved with
the upgrade.
I experienced the same problem; it's a variant of #501315, and fixed
in sid except for the upgrade path. It's caused by desktop-base
expecting /etc/splashy/themes to be a directory and splashy making it
a symlink. The sequence of operations is:
Install desktop-base:
Creating /etc/splashy/themes/moreblue-orbit
Install splashy:
Creating /usr/share/splashy/themes/default
Failing to overwrite /etc/splashy/themes to be a symlink to
/usr/share/splashy/themes
Failing to find /etc/splashy/themes/default
These are fixed in desktop-base 5.0.2 and splashy 0.3.12-1 in sid, but
the upgrade path still isn't correct. Using new splashy with old
desktop-base or vice versa will still give errors, so ideally splashy
and desktop-base would Conflict: with each other's old versions.
Also, both packages need to be migrated to lenny at the same time.
