if you choose to use the theme, then the theme gets used in the config. if the config uses it, and you remove it, then re-populating the config (which is what extlinux-update does), fails. so no surprise there. however.. ..i'm not fond of 'falling back to no-theme' gracefully, that way the users bootloader 'experience' wout 'silently' get changed (a note during postinst or during extlinux-update is too weak, nobody reads it anyway/it's too easy to miss or overlook it). or in other words, if you have no better idea how to handle such cases, i'd stick with 'it is not a bug but a feature'. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
