Comment 95 for bug 328089

I found that if you try to install the package 'splashy' and 'splashy-themes' on 10.04 it cannot install 'splashy'. It installs 'splashy-themes' however. This means that until you fix the broken dependencies you cannot install any packages. Try the following if you have this problem:

sudo apt-get remove splashy-themes

and

sudo apt-get install -f

and

sudo aptitude update

This should fix it, however it doesn't allow you to use splashy, it just gets you out of this pickle.
