[Martin Baláž (embecka)]

The problem is, that the package contains only documentation files :-)
Donwload the source from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/ubuntustudio-look/ubuntustudio-look_0.38.1.tar.gz, and copy the directory /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntustudio-logo/ from the archive by hand.
Then run dpkg-reconfigure ubuntustudio-plymouth-theme or wait until developers fix it.

[Matthew Casey (materieller)]

Yeah I looked at the package after I reported the bug and realized that. Thanks for the source.

[B.J. Stobiecki (bjfs)]

The same happened on my Ubuntu Studio 10.04, the quick fix provided by embecka works. I had to dpkg-reconfigure --force ubuntustudio-plymouth-theme using that method with recent http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/ubuntustudio-look/ubuntustudio-look_0.38.2.tar.gz source. No problems with upgrading ubuntustudio-look now...

[SantaFe (cslillie)]

Ever since upgrading to the beta 10.04 been getting this. Doesn't really effect anything though.
