init: plymouth-upstart-bridge respawning too fast, stopped

[dino99]

Since a while i get that issue with each cold boot logged inside dmesg:

init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (237) terminated with status 1
[ 5.566839] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process ended, respawning
[ 5.569252] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (239) terminated with status 1
[ 5.569332] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge respawning too fast, stopped

Seen on a forum a proposed workaround: adding 'sleep 5' at the end of the script, but this is not accepted as a valid entry.

/etc/init/plymouth-upstart-bridge.conf :

# plymouth-upstart-bridge - Bridge Upstart state changes into Plymouth
#
# This helper process receives Upstart state changes over D-Bus and sends
# corresponding messages to Plymouth.

description "bridge from Upstart state changes to Plymouth"

respawn

start on (startup
          or runlevel [06])
stop on (stopping plymouth
         or stopping plymouth-shutdown)

console output

exec plymouth-upstart-bridge

seems similar as that oldish lp:1309617
