you're re-installing a package but not having it's configuration removed.

having an out-of-sync configuration not matching the required state
(syslinux-themes-debian is referenced in your configuration, but you've
also removed syslinux-themes-debian) is not a problem the package or the
package management system is going to fix for you.
