[Bug 1912577] Re: package linux-image-5.8.0-40-generic 5.8.0-40.45~20.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The relevant dpkg terminal log says:

E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1.

Sadly there is no error message explaining the exit code 1. Can you edit
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth and add "set -x" (without the
quotes) to the script and then run update-initramfs to get more log
output?

sudo nano /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u

Please attach the output to the bug report then.
