[Bug 1278360] Re: package plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Steve Langasek]

The error in the log is:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text.postinst: 21:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text.postinst: cannot create
/lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth: Directory
nonexistent

The /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ directory belongs to the plymouth-
theme-ubuntu-text package.  You have a damaged installation, either due
to some incorrect manual removal of files on your part, some third-party
software breaking the install, or disk corruption.  You will need to
reinstall the package with 'apt-get install --reinstall plymouth-theme-
ubuntu-text' to correct this.
