Good Evening,

Just installed 9.10 and attempted to install splashy. Same problem as the other reporters when using Synaptic. Downloaded splashy_0.3.13-3ubuntu2~ppa4_amd64.deb as detailed in #31 above. Another kink in the errors when running dpkg.

Here is the output:
root@JustUsAndTheDogs3:/home/paul/Downloads# dpkg --install splashy_0.3.13-3ubuntu2~ppa4_amd64.deb --force-overwrite
Selecting previously deselected package splashy.

For what it's worth, the same upgrade process worked perfectly for Mint 7.

Thanks for any help!
