[Bug 788138] Re: group default.plymouth is broken

[Steve Langasek]

Ok.  Did you create /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub by hand?  The
contents match the default.  If you rm
/lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub, does update-alternatives complete
successfully?

Since I don't see any way that this file would have been created by the
plymouth package, I don't think we're looking at a plymouth bug.

Title:
  group default.plymouth is broken

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

   if I try to change the theme I get this error and plymouth is
  displayed only in text mode:

  $ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

  update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth because link group default.plymouth is broken.
  update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth with a link.

  How to fix this?
  I am using ubuntu 11.04

  $ cat /proc/fb
  0 VESA VGA

  ls -l /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2011-04-27 08:32 /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth -> /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
