Please use sudo apt full-upgrade instead of sudo apt upgrade. Does that fix the issue?

What version of kali-themes in the upgrade transaction? I guess you're upgrading from 2025.2.5 to 2025.3.0, am I correct?

The fix is out there on the mirrors, but it will still take an hour or so before the redirector (http.kali.org) is aware of it.

Please try apt update && apt full-upgrade, you should see kali-themes 2025.3.1 in the list of packages to update, sooner or later. Please confirm the issue is fixed. Thanks!
