plymouthd assert failure: *** glibc detected *** /sbin/plymouthd: corrupted double-linked list: 0x082aa8e8 *** on reboot after a repair of broken packages

Binary package hint: plymouth

Really odd bug this .... I started the machine this morning & wifi driver failed to init ... there after the touch pad , if touched, logged me out. Only way to fix this problem was to connect to the net via ethernet & repair broken packages. this cured the lack of touch pad & wifi but introduced this bug when running update manager
