Bug Description
Binary package hint: xubuntu-
Ubuntu Version: 10.04 Beta 1 (Lucid Lynx)
Package: xubuntu-
Expected Behavior: Smooth installation
Actual Behavior: Throwing errors on every package manager use, refusing to be either fixed or uninstalled, basically behaving poorly.
Description: On any package operation (installation, uninstallation, upgrading, etc.) a "post-installation script" installed by a subprocess (of apt-get, I'm assuming) will fail to run due to an error, returning an error code 127. Unfortunately, this is not a particularly descriptive error code, and this error appears to prevent either reinstalling or uninstalling the package.
Attempted Fixes: Reinstallation (whether via Synaptic or apt-get) failed; on Synaptic due to the primary bug, on apt-get due to being unable to lock /var/cache/
Reproduction: Install xubutnu-artwork on 9.10. Upgrade to 10.04. Installation of xubuntu-

Thanks for your bug report.
They changed lots of things in plymouth yesterday, that's why it's failing to install/uninstall. We need to update the packaging of our theme.
