[Splashy-devel] Bug#549200: splashy: progress bar still doesn't work

[Daniel Dickinson]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.13-5.1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #549200


Using wheezy with insserv (the default boot system), the progress bar doesn't work, and after gdm starts splashy eventually times out and switches back to vt1 and reports that it timed out.

This kind of makes splashy too buggy to be distributable to casual users, and is probably RC in terms of bugginess for what the package is supposed to do, even though it doesn't make the machine unbootable.  I'll leave that up to RM's etc to decide that though.
