The error in your logs is:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent processing triggers for plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text:
 plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text depends on lsb-release; however:
  Package lsb-release is not configured yet.

And before this:

Unpacking lsb-release (9.20160110ubuntu0.2) over (9.20160110) ...

AptOrdering.txt claims that lsb-release is supposed to be configured before plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text is configured.

So this is a problem with apt's upgrade ordering in the face of dpkg triggers.

Probably fixed in zesty or newer with the huge installation ordering changes.
