Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

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

cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/plymouth/ubuntu-logo.png': No such file or directory
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1.

Both files /usr/share/plymouth/ubuntu-logo.png and /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth are shipped by the plymouth package.

Do you still experience that bug? Can you reproduce it?
