Package: linuxlogo Version: 6.01-0.2 Severity: important After several weeks when the linuxlogo package gave error on upgrading, I tried first to reinstall it (apt reinstall), then to remove it (apt remove; apt install) and finally I succeded by first purging then installing (apt purge; apt install).
Here is a log of what I did: # apt reinstall linuxlogo Summary: Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Reinstalling: 1, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 28 1 not fully installed or removed.
