[Bug 1170787] Re: package plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text 0.8.8-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

The error in your log is:

 Processing triggers for plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text ...
 /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
 dpkg: error processing plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text (--unpack):
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

This is not a bug in the plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text package; the /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text directory mentioned here is shipped in the plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text package, but it is not present on your system.  This means one of three things:
 - filesystem corruption
 - you have manually removed directories from your filesystem that you should not have
 - some software component (other than plymouth) has incorrectly removed these directories on your behalf.

To correct this error, you should run 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install
plymouth-themes-ubuntu-text' from the commandline.
