[Bug 557260] [NEW] package linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic 2.6.32-19.28 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script did not run to plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text package not being installed

[Paul Wagland]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

While doing an upgrade, I had not selected the plymouth-theme-ubuntu-
text package for installation. If this package is not installed, then
the post-runner for  linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic fails with the
following:
