[Jerry]

Binary package hint: plymouth

update-manager -d
gave errors
said it failed
then said it completed...

restart to complete install
new kernel with grub (another issue, 3 way merge (experimental?) failed?)

and got this error, that i gave the option to report,
so this dumb luser is reporting it...

community feedback, gotta love it ;-)
