I've also encountered this problem (not even having usplash installed
anymore, just a leftover /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh - that's what you get
for not purging packages...). In lsb-base-logging.sh, there are some
tests for terminal width via "tput cols". For some reason, the result of
that is "-1", from which stuff gets substracted. This is then given to
"tput hpa" (like "tput hpa -9") as an argument, which in result
complains about an invalid option.
I got rid of the problem purging usplash, but it's quite annoying. I
don't really know where the problem is (perhaps the terminfo data got
some faulty update), but one problem is definitely that usplash doesn't
handle the unexpected "tput cols" output well.
Hope that helps,
Christian Ohm
