magento theme falling back to default theme even after theme is changed in admin side.
I am trying to change theme from default to blank theme under default package .
I tried clearing all cache and checked System > Configuration > GENERAL > Design > Themes > Layout, it is "blank" and System > Configuration > GENERAL > Design > Package > Current Package Name is "default".

Falling back is totally fine. If magento doesn't find the template it is looking for, it falls back to default/default and checks for the template there, or did I understand you wrong?

Because of this it is called fallback.
