Bug Description

Binary package hint: splashy

Hi,

This report was automagically generated when I tried to install splashy-themes from repos so I decided to file it.

I am attaching zip containing both versions of a file that caused conflict.

I compared them and the one from splashy seems like extended version of the one which is already on my computer. I was thinking if I should use --force-yes option but I have this system installed for a while now and just recently fixed sound after an upgrade to 9.10 and it would be a pity if I damaged it :).

PS:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.

3) What you expected to happen
Splashy is installed and I can proceed to find out how to change my splash screen.

4) What happened instead (I don't think I have to translate this - error message is in English):
