    How do I resolve this problem with apt-get

    I was trying to install bootsplash and bootsplash themes. Something went wrong in the process and when I execute apt-get fixup it will not fix it. I also tried to just uninstall it also but it says

    Code:
    Removing bootsplash-theme-newlinux ...
dpkg: error processing bootsplash-theme-newlinux (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 bootsplash-theme-newlinux
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
RESULT=100
    So what does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Be more specific,
    what command are you trying?
    what is the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list?
    etc?

    I'm using debian stable. I havent used the command line just Kpackage Manager.
    here is etc/apt/sources.list:

    # deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

    deb http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian/ stable main
    deb-src http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian/ stable main

    deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
    # deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

    deb http://www.bootsplash.de/files/debian/ unstable main

    # proposed additions for a 3.1 point release
    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ proposed-updates main contrib non-free

    In Kpackage Manager their is a fixup command which didn't fix the problem so I tried to uninstall and I still get this error message, plus no bootsplash. I would love to have the bootsplash for eye candy.

    That's your problem right here. Installing anything from unstable is at risk of breaking your system some way or another.

    Why not install:
    Code:
    apt-get install kernel-patch-debianlogo
    from stable?
