Bug Description

Upgrade failure.
But system is still running ...

Edit (of 2016-02-25):
Package in question is installed. So what's the issue? Is it just a wrong message I received from the system? (It was telling me that my system would be corrupted and probably unusable ... I'm happy it is not the case ...)

Edit (of 2016-02-26):
Because of some sound issues I applied following command to reinstall recent kernel: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r)
That fixed my sound problems so far.

I got only the "some packages did not ..." "System might be unusable" messages. Since I am not experienced in Ubuntu I do not know what to do to get more specific information. Nor do I have a workaround. Afraid to reboot.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The relevant dpkg terminal log says:

sed: kann /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-gnome-text/ubuntu-gnome-text.plymouth nicht lesen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 2.

So reassigning to plymouth which ships /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth.

affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) → plymouth (Ubuntu)
