[Splashy-devel] Bug#549200: breaking upgrade from lenny

[Kjö Hansi Glaz]

Hi,

As far as I understand the current state of this bug, an upgrade from a
lenny system with splashy installed to squeeze will make the system
unbootable. This is in my opinion quite a major issue as splashy is
often installed on desktop computers whose administartors are quite
likely to be casual users - I do know quite a lot people in that case.

Perhaps just conflicting with insserv would help?

Cheers,

Kjö
