I cannot run an update or indeed run $: apt-get remove due to a dpkg error with a package that's a part of super-boot-manager. Running an update returns:

dpkg: error processing burg-theme-minimal-sir (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I tried removing this package alone, with the same error, also trying to remove super-boot-manager returns:

I'm sort of stuck now and Google has failed me. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Or does anyone know a way for fixing this?
