Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usplash
When trying to install usplash from the command line I get this error
message:
~$ sudo apt-get install usplash
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
usplash: Depends: initramfs-tools (>= 0.92bubuntu55) but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: upstart (>= 0.6.3-4) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: usplash-theme-ubuntu but it is not going to be installed
or
usplash-theme
E: Broken packages
although I have both initramfs-tools and upstart installed, so that error makes
no sense. Also, when trying to install the package via synaptic, when clicking
to install usplash it says it has to remove around 50-100 packages, some of
which are essential (like cups, linux-image-..., etc). I also tried downloading
the package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/usplash and when double
clicking on it, I get the error message: Error: Breaks existing package
'plymouth' conflict: usplash ( ).
Because of these different error messages across the different installation
methods, I assume that the problem is the usplash package itself.
