The error in your log is:

Processing triggers for plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text (0.9.0-0ubuntu9) ...
sed: can't read /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth.in: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text (--unpack):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

But the bug report shows an error configuring plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text version 0.9.2-3ubuntu13, not 0.9.0-0ubuntu9. Version 0.9.0-0ubuntu9 of the package included this file. Version 0.9.2-3ubuntu13 does not. But if 0.9.2-3ubuntu13 had been unpacked, you should not see messages from the triggers of the older version.

Please paste the output of the following command on your system:

dpkg -l '*plymouth*'
